Plenty of people are happy with them and will continue to be, personally, I'm not a gambling man.

But neither ST nor Teins are taiwanese, and both are sub 1K

I plan on testing the Tein Flex Z in the future.

Same with Bilstein and Koni to my knowledge.

So saying all ~$1k suspension setups are made in Taiwan was wrong, outside of Koni and Bilstein I really don't have confidence in them was the gist.
