Did all 4 on our 2008 EX using KYB back in 2015. 2008 Brake/Suspension work Have since traded it in.
Glad you are buying pre-assembled. I didn't, which made the job more dangerous and took longer to do. I really enjoyed the new ride with the KYBs. Like you, heard too many negative reviews about the Monroes. Not knowing the year and/or mileage of your ride, I would also look into replacing the sway bar bushings [real easy to do with the wheels off], plus any of the linkages. Replacing the bushings and links really added only about 1 hour to the total time. Good luck with the DIY. Let us know how it turns out
