shock and struts recommendation

I'm a 57 year old guy and am not interested in boy racing my 300k miles TL. The rear shock is leaking and I plan to replace all 4. I'm frugal and am looking for something that is stock. Can anyone recommend something close to stock? I have tools and a spring compressor.
Did the TL use KYB's?
Regards, Sujit

Sachs or KYB would be my choice for OEM replacements. I have no direct experience but people here have reported the KYB's are slightly softer than the OEM valving but at your mileage I doubt it'll be noticeable.
Not sure if Acura's OEM supplier was KYB or not.

IDK, but guessing the OEM struts are Showa for most Honda/Acura's

Yeah, most likely. I don't see too many Showa options in the aftermarket though.

KYBs are fine.
So are Tein Endurapro or Endurapro +
Or FCS or Sachs or any of the stuff on Rockauto
