FE5 vs FCS struts

Hello all
Does anyone know the difference in these struts from rock auto?
Is one better than the other as far as quality or handling? Im trying to decide which ones to get

Looking up the FCS ones, they seem to be an economy strut/coil assembly vs just a strut. The FE5 is the top performance offering for the HHR from GM and comes stock on the SS. I am guessing here but it looks to me like there is no comparison performance wise between the two. Infact the FCS seems to be even lower than the Monroe quick struts price wise which are said to be no where near the performance of the FE5 struts let alone even the FE3's.

But if you do end up wanting to go with the FCS ones this site seems to be cheaper than RockAuto. http://www.stockwiseauto.com/product...ucts_id/713530
