Many threads on struts here the short version is:
Monroe: similar to original ride quality longevity questionable
KYB: Best quality and longevity 30% harsher ride
Gabriel: okay ride don't last
OEM: easily the best but expensive

With KYB do people go with the quickstrut arrangement?

I'd avoid quickstruts and "build" your own.
Tried both Moog & Monroe quick struts and were stiff and noisy out of the box.
Ended up putting my old 200K struts back on (they ride like a pillow lol)

I changed all 4 with KYB and put a TRD stabilizer bar. Its not harsher ride, but a bit stiffer. I like it more as the car goes into turns better and most of the crazy lean is gone. My advice avoid quick-struts, talking from experience.

quick struts are great for a corolla. Not so much for a Lexus. I have tried 2 different sets, Detroit Axle, and Gabriel. DA didnt fit, Gabriels are garbage. I recently put my 150k OEM back on the front, and will be putting my rears back on when I an finished with my sound deadening before I reinstall my carpet and interior.

The spray is Duplicolor Bed Armor (truck bed liner) in aerosol form. The tips of the cans ended up clogging repeatedly, but I had a can of roll on that I opened and brushed on the rest. Should have done it all that way in hindsight. The other material is a dynamat-like self adhesive product which will go over the bed armor. I already have a Boss Audio Satnav unit.
