Default seeks steering damper, struts recommendation

so visited the new mechanic who owns a lexus. upon inspection, we found that my ride needs, 4 struts, steering damper, driver side motor mount.

he recommended monroe struts for comfort which i'm considering. i also saw that monroe also makes steering damper.

should these changes make significant difference in ride quality? right now still not bad, but car seems to feel bumps/potholes more so than other ls i rode in.

I have 20 year old struts and like you say car doesnt ride bad but you will notice a difference with new ones. I think Im going with a set of Tokico struts for improved handling I might have to check out that steering damper though its also 20 as is anything i havent replaced myself
