Default Best struts for lowered GS?

Im looking for replacements for my OEM struts, all 4 are starting to feel shot at 85k miles. The car is siting at zero wheel gap / flush on GS350 OEM sport 18s. I liked the ride quality of the OEM struts while they were still good, but the dealership wants something like $260 each for replacements.

What is a good alternative to the pricey ones from the dealership? I heard that Bilstein sports are good but I'm not sure they are made to fit the 3rd gen GS.

Any other suggestions? I don't want the car to ride like a skateboard, track car... or pogo stick. Just a firm but comfort oriented shock.

model.... 2006 GS300 RWD, no run flat

I am also open to air suspension, depending on quality vs price. What is good?

BCRs, or if you're open to air, Airrex+UAS

PM me if you need help with any of it.

I'm pretty happy with my Ksport air struts. They seem to be well made.

personally, if there were struts made by a rally racing company...i'd use those cuz imagine the quality and reliabilty they need to survive such a race.... just saying.
