You worked hard to give the community as much detail as it seems you knew how. That's great. But I'd urge everyone to not make a product decision based on the nick nacks that come in the box. The KW's are in a completely different league than these 3rd party rebranded units. I'm sure they will get the job done for the average enthusiast. I know not everyone wants to pay $2k for a set of dampers. Just keep in mind that after tires, dampers are the 2nd most impactful thing that can change the way your car works.

Stiff does not equal high performance. grip does. And grip comes from quality damper valving that is matched to a spring rate that allows the tire to stay in contact with the ground as much as possible with as little change in force applied to the tread as possible to keep from shocking it loose.

Good luck in your selection folks. learning what works for ones self is half the fun.

Matt
