I would get kyb struts and reuse the springs.
I needed to replace my front end suspension and installed GABRIEL G57027 quick struts. I've had them for a few months with no issues. I'm not doing any off-road driving, mostly paved roads hauling family and large items. I've had good luck with this brand on my LeSabre as well.
Pros: no issues, good luck
Part number: G57027
I installed new rear kyb SR4484 coil/struth assembly on my 2010 forester. The forester feels so much better, no noise or clunking.
Pros: feels much better, no noise
Vehicle:
Subaru Forester
Part number: SR4484
I'd keep stock springs and go with some nice Bilstein struts/ shocks with new mounts. Wheels, tires, brakes, sound deadening, and a headunit would make a big quality of life improvement.
Pros: quality of life improvement
I also replaced the struts, but with Honda there. What a difference overall - when I hit bigger potholes it no longer “pulls” towards the side that hit.
Pros: big difference, no pulling
Cons: pulls towards side
Vehicle:
Honda Odyssey
Mileage: 139000 km
I used the KYB Excel-G struts to replace both fronts on my MR2 Spyder until I got my BC coilovers and they’re fine. Not necessarily any harsher of a ride and they’ve seemed to hold up pretty decent (keep in mind your mileage really may vary as I only did a few thousand miles with them!)
Pros: fine ride, decent durability
Cons: limited mileage experience
Vehicle:
Toyota MR2
Mileage: 4828 km
I put those on a 2011. They are slightly stiff but super easy to drop in both front and rear. Really great on the highway but a little harder than I would like on local streets with pot holes.
Pros: easy to install, great on highway
Cons: slightly stiff, hard on potholes
Vehicle:
Lexus RX
I did KYBs and they were horribly stiffer in the springs on my Sonata (RIP).
Cons: horribly stiffer springs
Vehicle:
Hyundai Sonata
Don't buy B4s unless you are selling the car soon. Extremely high failure rate past 1 year.
Cons: high failure rate
Vehicle:
BMW X1
