Default F-Sport Shock/Strut Replacement Recommendation

Just purchased my first Lexus. 2013 IS250 F Sport. The car has 114k on it but absolute pristine condition. Supposedly mostly highway miles rather than city driving. I have never driven one of these cars before so not sure what to expect. The front suspension seems like it could maybe be a little tighter or smoother. Might have a little wobble or shimmy to it when hitting bumps. Not sure if it might be shocks or maybe I am just imagining it. How many highway miles do they generally last?

This car with stock bushing will get toe change under braking, causing the brake steer problem. Changing out the LCA bushing to Figs or RR-Racing parts will basically eliminate that.

(I use RR racing myself)
