For 150 a pop you can get bilstiens which will outlast the car. Almost every auto parts store rents spring compression tools, thereby preventing you from buying the whole shebang and overspending. Make sure to get strut mounts too as they do not last for more than one set of shocks. [Here] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGkk6Vrs1uo) is a good video. These are KYB's and are well known to be decent, you could do all 4 corners for about $200.
I'm not at all a professional. I've done maybe 4 suspension overhauls. First one I used Sachs and was surprised at how quickly they faded. It made me think that upgrading the suspension was a waste of time (and an expensive waste of time). The second time I used Koni's and the third and fourth were both Bilstien. If you intend to keep the car for more than two years, spend the money. Do all four corners at once and replace all bushings at the same time. Just my humble opinion.
