To give some perspective on Penske, the company has moved past 4-way adjustability for some of their top-level offerings. They have developed a regressive damper curve whereas most are using digressive curves. What this does is allows very high damping slopes at low shaft speeds for body control, but then can actually drop at higher shaft speeds for comfort, rather than the digressive curve that can just try to reduce the slope.

These guys are orders of magnitude better than the basic Japanese brands, and possibly even a class up on the usual named top level guys.
