shocks/ struts

[bdunst]

Has anyone replaced shocks/struts? are there any better options than oem toyota parts?

Other than the gaiters being torn on both the struts on my blue RAV4, they haven't given any indication of needing replacement, so I haven't looked into options.

I did ask for help from two different suspension shops on locating softer springs, to lessen the harsh (IMO) ride, about three years ago, but they both shrugged.
