I don't know I haven't really got to look at the two side by side. All I can say is for the money DC was the way to go for me. I got it for under $90.

Try the link again. It feels like about 5-7 lbs. I didn't weigh it sorry.

I put it on already but it's dark now. I'll take more pictures tomorrow. It was pretty easy to put on. The bad part was jacking up the front of the car, so that you could push down on the wheel. So the strut bolts would slide in just enough to put it in there.
