Mazdaspeed Shocks vs OEM Tokicos.

So, I've been trying to find out the specifications between the two (Mazdaspeed Shocks and OEM Tokicos). Anybody have them? I can't find them anywhere. I want to know the rebound rate and how stiff it is.

You know the Mazdaspeed shocks are just Tokicos right? Not sure if anyone has measured the differences.

You know that I'm one of those people who actually uses the secret search feature.

I couldn't find it.

Damn, I tried searching for the difference in measurements but I can't seem to find it anywhere... I also called the Mazda Dealership's parts department and simply put, they're idiots.

Awesome, this is the answer I've been looking for:

Front rebound and compression is about 25% stiffer."
Thanks hypnotoad.
