need to change the rear shocks

i have a 2008 yaris 3 door hatchback automatic need to change the rear shocks. i am going to ask a mechanic who is my next door neighbor to change my shocks. i want to buy the shocks myself.

i have research online, there are
1. oem kyb w0133-10808712 from partsgeek
2. kyb 343442 from partsgeek
3. gabriel strut jcw-gabg51783 from jcwhitney ( half price of oem )

the gabriel does call their part shock, they call their part strut, and i check gabriel website, it fit my car. but i do not know if the replacement work will be a lot more than the part call shock.

usually the shocks has only 2 nuts and bolts holding the top and the bottom. very easy to change it if they are mechanically inclined. i do not know if this is true to my case.

anyone has knowledge and input?
