Yes, for me I prefer the OEM springs and KYB struts for general comfort and ride quality. I'm not sure if opting for the OEM struts would be any different. There's some discussions I found about that the OEM struts/dampers are better than any aftermarket vendor but without shock dyno data we'll never know. For the fronts I completely replaced the upper strut mounts with the KYB ones on RockAuto. For the Rears, I ordered both KYB and Mevotech upper struts mount kits but neither of them fitted so I ended up reusing the old OEM mounts instead. The two from RockAuto were just the bellow/accordion shaped bit and didn't include the triangle shape that fits over the studs.
