Are you looking for suggestions on which strut/shocks to buy or how to replace them?

If you want a softer ride go with KYB . If you like a little stiffer ride go with OEM .

Looking for suggestions on what to buy. Haven't been a fan of OEM strut ride since day one.

KYB is probably your best option (not too many out there). I have them on my RX and they're pretty good. My OEMs weren't totally dead, but oil was seeping out.
