What are the KYB E-Spec Super Struts.....?

Does anybody know anything about these struts on Corksprot.com? I saw them on there, but what is the difference of those and out OEM struts, because there definately aren't any pictures of the struts on there. I would like to eventually rebuild my suspension for the most part. I plan on getting springs and struts but I want to find out what I can about them.
THANKS FOR ANY HELP

they are comparable to OEM struts. i'm pretty sure they aren't made to be matched with lowering springs of any kind ...

I agree.

They seem to be stock replacements. Not more damping like you need...

According to Ben at Corksport, these are the european performance struts KYB sells that are not yet available here in N.A. Roughly comparable to a non-adjustable Tokico performance strut, except a little stiffer. Supposedly they are definitely a step above the stock units, which are also available from KYB and Corksport. And they are a lovely shade of orange.
