Funny you use Japanese brands as a standard for coilovers. While I like JDM parts, off-the-shelf dampers from Japanese companies are near the bottom of my wishlist - just above the obviously Chinese/Taiwanese units. What are usually regarded as the "best" dampers in the world have usually come from everywhere else besides Asia and California: Europe (Ohlins, Koni, AST/Moton, JRZ, Bilstein, KW) and North America (Penske, Multimatic). Unless you're a JDM-hype, hard-parking stance boi, dampers are only as good as the ability to have them valved for a specific application, the serviceability, and their quality (depending on fitness for use) - regardless of where they come from.

Travel more, please.
