The OEM shocks were made from Tokico.

As for the driving experience, not much has changed, but I do feel that the KYB does make the car feel more planted to the ground over the OEM shocks. I am able to change lanes on the highway without feeling any wobble.

All in all, I paid about $500 for the struts/shocks and the install.

I'm getting ready to install Swift springs on my 07 X, and might need to replace the struts as well.

Where did you get them?

Thanks!
