I have the KYB struts and shocks installed in my 2013 RS. Replaced them at 105,000 KM with B&G lowering springs. Overall happy with everything, currently at 130,000 KM and will be inspecting everything when I switch over my wheels and tires for winter.

I went with the KYB/B&G combo because it was the most affordable at the time. I admit I should've looked into the Bilsteins or coilovers at the time but I'm still happy with my decision for the time being. I have bottomed out a few times but I'm blaming that on the springs, haven't read other cases like this with the B&G's.

Will be inspecting the struts and shocks very soon as I plan on installing my winter tires and wheels, will comment if I see any issues.

Update for you guys....

Car is currently at 138,300 km and the right front strut has left us. Cold mornings it is knocking and making a ton of noise (This morning was -28 with the windchill) to the point where it's unbearable.
I manage an auto shop and had it on the hoist about a month ago and check everything else out to find the seal is gone from the strut. So I am currently looking at my options, I will mostly likely just order GM struts and mounts and put the B&G lowering spring back in.

OR... Do what I should've done in the first place and put the KSport or Bilstein coil over kit in.
