I can't speak to their strut mounts but my 300D had KYB's on it. I replaced them at 50K miles into their life. The previous owner put them on new. They were very much shot, they had nothing left. I think 50K is an ok lifespan for a strut. I've got bilstein in there now, not sure what to expect for lifespan. I've read that KYBs are decent but only last 30-40K miles.

Lol the 420sel we bought in 2010 came with Monroe shocks all around.
