I've had KYB's for several years and many miles, still no leaks, no bouncy bounce, no problem, best shocks I've installed
I agree on the TTR sway bar addition, it'll enhance the handling, make a huge difference in crosswinds. Easy to install, just 4 bolts and wow what an improvement!

I have found very little quality difference between brands. No manufacturer expects the shocks to last more than 50,000 miles, many recommend changing much earlier than that, none warranty against wear.
