Best Shocks/struts to buy?

ok guys need some help here please. I need new shocks for the front of my 07 TL w/85,000. Im looking for OEm or better.... I want to upgrade the struts without lowering the car. I am wondering, for the money what is the best strut manufacturer for the price. I have heard the Tokico blues are good. Koni yellow? Kyb Excel G? I can get Koni online for $500 for all 4, but not warrented by local installers.

I want to keep the stock springs and replace the struts. I dont have any other mods nor do i want any. What would you suggest? Thanks in advance!

A-specs


Its oem and provides a slight drop about 3/4-1in


Edit-


Reread and you don't want it to lower. You would waste more time and money if all you want to do is replace the struts while keeping the stock springs. Might as well buy OEM struts that is for your vehicle specification.

the koni yellows are damping adjustable. which means you can adjust the damping to cater towards you!
this is why the koni is one of the best shocks available.

The KONI shocks are the best shocks on the market. They will allow you to lower the car if you use the lower perch and have adjustable damping and will last longer than any of the competing shocks based on our experience.

If you need a set we have them on sale on the website, and in stock.
