I know everybody likes to throw stuff at the car like it is a 15 year old low trim sedan but you are not working with the same low end stuff.

The OEM suspension is acceptable and there were also revisions to make it a bit different. Nevertheless, such a suspension either it is branded by Showa or Sachs, it is still made under the same strict 'general maitenance schedule" and cost guidelines of a production car so I wouldn't consider it the best available or in general better...

For sure, not to an extent a true performance driver will call it outside the PR talks, a performance suspension.
