Question 130 K Miles, Is It Time To Replace My Shocks?

So I just cracked the 130 K mile mark in my 2003 Acura TL-P. I just got new Yokohama EnVigor tires and I'm just looking to replace parts that might be worn over time. The suspension is stock and since I bought the car with 61 K miles I haven't changed the shocks. The ride quality is still good, but slightly bouncy. How do I know if I need new shocks? I was looking at the KYB-GR2 stock replacement shocks. I don't want to get coilovers or anything fancy like that, I pretty much like the suspension as is. I'm just wondering if the KYB-GR2 shocks were a wise replacement option. Thanks for your time.

Yep, we replaced my sister-in-law's struts with GR-2's. They are pretty good OEM replacement.

Slightly better in the corners. It's not much at all, but I usually notice those things.

And they're definitely cheaper than OEM.
