my shocks don't leak but my cars ride is definitely not as smooth as it was when I bought is 50,000 miles ago.
I know it would ride much better with 4 new shocks instead of 10 year old shocks with 100,000 miles

I have been wondering about selling the LS so I'm holding off, but if I decided to keep it 5 more years I will definitely get them all replaced. What aftermarket shock is best for the LS ?

I went with KYB's on mine....it was made in Japan, I've been told OEM's are manufactured by KYB as well (though different specs). Relatively affordable, check out kyboutlet.com if this is worth exploring.
