If you have Michigan roads, it will break in rather quickly.

Coincidentally..
I just got a single strut replacement done today.
To be honest I did not notice any difference at all with the OEM Honda replacement while driving around.
It was put on a 9yo car with 180K miles. Most of it excellent shape. Repair history unknown.
OEM replaced by OEM should be fine.

OTOH....
I previously got an all-new aftermarket suspension on all four corners installed to an older Toyota.
That brand was NAPA Proformer.
The shocks were super tight and clunky for about a month or two during the summer, I was at my limits of being pissed, but they finally loosened up.
It drives nice now.

Best way to find out is to drive it around in an empty parking lot after a week or so.
It should slalom predictably. It should brake straight.
Test it, know it, and understand it.
