Default New Struts for ride comfort

I had to get my 02 Civic inspected the other day, which passed, but not withouta recommendation from the shop.At 76,000 my struts need to be replaced.I've always noticed a very bumpy ride but passed it off to the nature/type of the car. After all, a Civic is not a Caddy. I've done some reading pertaining to struts, but a lot of posts are more about lowering and race performance. I'm not looking to lower at allor race, I just want some nice struts so that my ride isnt extremely bumpy anymore. If anyone could point me into the right direction, I would appreciate it.

Do I need to replace just the front two or all four? The front right strut is the one giving me the problem.

kyb adjustable shocks/struts, get a new set for entire car(you can easily and quickly adjust them to super soft or firm)

get a good set of springs, but if you lower it might as well get a camber kit(front/rear) so your tires aren't tilted inward. And be sure to get an alignment after you get any kind of new shocks/struts.
