OEM works fine for me. Bought mine used at 29K---probably original shocks and struts---rode fine once I added the Michelins. Noticed stability issues at 65K so did OEM shocks and struts---improvement was noticeable. Still cool at 110K. FYI, I'm probably near max gross most of the time but almost never over....we tow a small lightweight trailer for the biking, fishing, kayaking, snorkel beach vacations.
I tend to think of it as a three parter --- shocks/struts, tires and alignment---makes driving a true joy.
Best of luck//Ed
