I understand that Tokico is the vendor that supplies the struts used on the Contour, and probably the Motorcraft replacements as well.
I did not know that Tokico marketed them in their own name.
I do remember that Tokico had planned on supplying struts for our cars, but backed off. I think that that was a performance oriented struts though, not a factory replacement.
I doubt that the fronts would be valved more agressively as the 98.5 + original SVT struts are.
I'm also sure that the catalog is in error, showing the same part number for the fronts for 97 as for the 98+.
Tokico makes exceptional product and has an excellent reputation.
