Default Suspension question

Wanting to replace strut assemblies on my 2002 RX300. Local parts stores are significantly higher priced than online sources. The problem is I don't know anything about off brand manufacturers or sources. Been looking at the quick strut assemblies to save time and effort.
Asking for recommendations please.

Thanks in advance

There's only two companies that make quick struts for this car, FCS and Gabriel, I've installed the FCS ones on my car and they've been fine for the past year and others have bought the same ones due to price. So if prefer quick struts, those are your only two options. I don't have any experience with Gabriel, but a quick Google search seems to have them as reputable; I typically go with KYB, but they don't offer quick struts for the RX300.

Right.

I'd highly recommend. I have excellent success with them.
Also, you can search under Highlander, Monroe and KYB do not differentiate between RX and Highlander, same part.
And it's 20 min per side to drop it in.

KYB does not appear to offer Strut Plus for the vehicle though.
