I'm going to be devils advocate here...

Does STD manufacture everything on the strut in their factories?
Or do they source some of the common components (i.e. damper adjustment knobs, various hardware, etc) as the cost of making these in house would surely be higher than sourcing from else where.

If that is the case (which is common with a lot of manufacturers in todays cost cutting market), then comparing the two is of no direct benefit.

Edit: Like Dave, no direct or in direct association with MCA, just expressing my opinion based on personal experience.
