KYB GR2s run about $70 apiece.
Much better than stock. Not sure what you mean about ride quality. They may be a little stiffer. So handling would improve, but comfort might decrease.
If you want a OEM like softer ride you can usually get good deals on Monroe's,

Are the KYB GR2's similar in ride to the OEM struts/shocks?

Just in case you were wondering, you are not the first one to replace shocks on your car.
