    Comparison Tokico/KYB/OEM rear shocks, anybody?

    To my knowledge there are currently only a few types of aftermarket rear shocks availabe if you disregard overpriced Mitsubishi OEM parts or the own brand of a certain aftermarket chain.

    These are:
    1.) Tokico (Hitachi) E20041

    and

    2.) KYB-Asia (Asian branch only) 348083
    2A.) KYB North America (North American branch only) 3320010


    Questions:

    A.) Does anyone know how the above mentioned compare to each other?

    B.) Does anyone know how one of the above compare to a certain particular OEM shock, such as the 4162A199, the 4162A219, the 4126A256 or the 4162A396?

    The only struts I've replaced on Mirages were ones that were bent and broken from accidents. I just replaced them with used ones. Rock auto lists a kyb 3320010 North American branch??
    According to this chart the kyb is more better

    You can get some adjustable dampers from Tein:

    My Dealer in the UK can order them. But they are not cheap.
