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.
Struts are one thing, but strut mounts are a big hunk of rubber between two metal plates. I really don't see there being a whole lot of difference between OEM replacement brands. haha.

Also, beggars can't be choosers. This stuff is NIB and the lot was $50, so I don't care what brand they are.
