Macpherson is the design, Tokico is a company that makes them. As in you have a printer for a computer but can get HP, Epson, Canon...

We only have struts up front, we have conventional shocks in the rear.

Yeah, if you look really close, you'll see "Tokico" engraved onto the strut. I was surprised the first time I saw them, but only remembered when Sprung brought it up.

Insurance paid for them so I didn't have a choice.

Pioneer,

I would have the shop buy me the blue ones and they can pocket the differences.

I didn't wanna get into that since the dealer is putting the car togather, I'ld rather they use original parts so incase something don't work right I have someone to blame.
