Definitely wouldn't be the same. Real aftermarket tokico struts can handle the abuse of moderate lowering springs, svt struts can not.
98.5 SVT
91 Escort GT (almost sold)
96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve)
FS: SVT rear sway bar
WTB: Very cheap beater

He never said anything about stock springs either.
Aftermarket tokico struts can handle lowering springs, svt struts can not. That was the SIMPLE statement I made. He said buy svt struts if you want tokico struts and I explained why it would not be the same. Why are some things so hard for some people to understand?

Well you're going to end up paying more later when they don't hold up and your ride is bouncing all over the place and also the struts most likely won't compliment the springs.
