Default Anyone compared New OEM struts to KYB's?

Ok so I don't know how many of you have been the orginal owner of your lexus so I dont know if you can compare to how the original ride felt to how your car now feels with KYB's. Has anyone compared new oem struts to the kyb's. These are going on my fathers GS300 and he's the original owner. I wouldn't want to put KYB's on there if they are not going to last or if the OEM ones will feel better. We have REALLY bad roads in our area so I don't want something that will be stiff for him.

KYB is the stock replacement. Rides like factory.
