Default Recomended Struts for 2000 ES300...?

What do you folks recommend? I'm just looking to match the factory ride and don't want to spend too much.
Thanks,
Martin

personally i had a bad expirence with the kyb's but alot of people had good expirences but heard of a slightly stiffer ride. (had them on the rear of es300 for 2000 miles before the ride went bouncy and the strut leaked oil)

monroe sens-a-traks are good, if you go lowered then no. but they are stocked at pep-boys and offer a lifetime warranty. (installed in my es300)

tokico blues are stiffer, my personal favorite for a nice ride with increased confidence in the corners (installed in my sisters avalon)

regardless, when you replace the struts, they're not gonna 'feel' factory because new struts are always stiffer than what you are used to because, they're new. and over time they will become softer. they will initially feel as the car did when it was new.

good luck on your hunt.
