Why GOOD consistent dampers cost a lot: Machining and assembly tolerances. Damping is *very* sensitive to very small changes in machining, fitment, shimstack, etc. etc. etc. It is VERY cheap to make a damper if you don't care what the damping curve is from part to part. It is VERY expensive to go to the required lengths to ensure that you have a *consistent* good damping curve.
