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.
Shut the front door....the Germans engineer the best stuff???
