The terms 'struts' and 'shocks' mean the same thing, and are interchangeable. At one time, a 'strut' referred to a 'shock' with the spring attached to the 'shock' body as a single integrated package, as opposed to the spring being mounted seperately to the swing arm, or whatever. Now it's just a fancy way of saying 'shocks'.

BTW, I prefer KONI's too...
