FE5 struts and shocks vs KYB Excel G?

Hey guys, so I'm currently in the process of saving up for FE5 shocks and struts from Crate Engine Depot, but from what I've been reading, the KYB Excel G shocks and struts are about as good as the SS/TC FE5 setup, is this true? Would I be better off getting the KYB and saving about a hundred dollars?

I've been debating the excel g since I can get them at cost. Which leaves the Fe5's being a decent amount more.

Hmm so the KYB would be a better value? Because I have an 05 SS/SC, and I'm going to be putting SSC lowering springs on whatever new struts and shocks I get, I need to get ready for autocross season haha.

I wouldn't get either of those if you plan on autox. Konis and YYZ. Life is going to suck on the SSC, if you actually want the car to turn.

I called our local supplier and he said kyb lists these for only the 2.2 and 2.4 not the 2.0. So they are not comparable to the 2.0 LNF FE5 struts
