KYB Excel-G struts?

What does everyone think about these struts? Are they better than FE1? FE5?

They are just o.e. type struts.

I got em a year or two back after putting my ssc springs on and effectively digging my stock struts graves. These replaced them and felt like new struts, someone told me they can handle a lowered car a little better; probably just because they are new.

They are fine overall, ride nice, like oem. Could have sworn i got them somewhere else cheaper like amazon or something.

They are not as good as FE5 struts (SS/SC or SS/TC).

If you want an FE5 upgrade, koni inserts and koni rear shocks.

If not, stick with the FE5 suspension. SS/TC Fe5 are best.
