Question about struts

Who manufactured the OE struts for the FC? I pulled off what I thought were the origonals on my car today. I come to find out that my old ones were manufactured by Tokico. The irony is I am replacing one set of non-adjustable Tokico's for another. Go figure!

My stock shocks say Tokico on them also.

Quote from rx7.com:
As the OEM supplier for Mazda and the majority of all Japanese manufacturers, Tokico has earned the reputation of producing only the highest quality struts.

O.K. Thanks for the answer. I also put on a set of blues. I only replaced the struts/socks because they had lowering springs pre-mounted on them. Easier then swapping my set of RB springs at the moment. Thanks!
