Tokico D Spec vs. STi struts rebuilt by Feal

Looking for opinions and pros/cons of each. Currently running stock STi struts with Prodrive red springs. New Tokicos are 800 shipped, Feal rebuild I believe is 700 plus shipping. I'm leaning towards the Tokicos at the moment.

Feal is only about $550? (that is if you provide yours to be rebuilt)
Feal rebuilt my struts and I love them.

The Feal setup looks pretty good. The only real advantage I see to the Tokico's is adjustability.
On a street car, once the valving is right for your suspension setup (which I'm assuming Feal is capable of doing) there's no real reason to adjust.

Agreed. I also like the feal option.

^that is correct.
They have a few specs or you can even do custom valveing.
They also can add the fittings for future re-greasing.

I'd go with Feal. The custom valving to match your spring rates is the better choice.

Never heard of them, but too cheap to be any good. I'm betting Chinese Copies of KYB

The fact that they throw 04 STi with 05-07 STi tells me they don't know jack ****. Don't buy those.
