keep in mind that any high end manufacturer will match the shock to the spring in an absolute sense, otherwise they wouldn't be high end...
but the niche question is what application is the packaged valved and whether you actually use the car as per the application or you only think you do... and even more importantly what does the manufacturer assume the application is given its name.
Ie, Ohlins says they have a "street" setup but maybe their ideas of street are smooth road and gentle driving? I don't know.
I think for many north American cities the japenese/European understanding of "street" needs to be tuned down a notch... or four. The reality is that our roads are shit and what we would all benefit from is rally-focused suspension.
