I put a set of KYB on my 2007 nearly a year and 11,000 miles ago, no complaints so far. They feel comfortable enough to me.

I actually just got down putting on some rear KYB shocks for my ole gurl.
I bought KYB shocks few years ago on Amazon for my C1500. Way cheaper compared to local parts store.
I would go with KYB, best for the price at least
Go with KYB on Rock Auto. They seem to ride like oem, maybe a touch stiffer before break-in.
I bought the shocks. They're good, very happy with them. Setting 1 is basically stock, though was better controlled with what I had. Setting 8 is noticeably firmer - allows much quicker inputs. Currently have them on 3/8 all around and car is balanced - maybe about as firm as an NB RS.
Bought KYB’s from summit racing and did the job for under $300 parts.
I’ve had good results with kyb.
As for the continental kit affecting the handling, I really don't think it makes a difference, the handling is terrifying! There is a long 90 degree curve near me, and when I try to push the car thru it, I get body lean, tire squeal, and understeer that slowly gives way to a neutral attitude.
Personally I've had bad luck with KYB strut mounts and bearings getting noisy. And in my experience they are too harsh.
