After reading this thread, I've decided to buy my third set of FA coils.

Stuff made in Japan for Japan is JDM Stuff made it Japan for export is JEM (for export market) Stuff that comes into the US from Japan is JIM (for import) once it hits port Stuff made in the USA for Japan is USEM Stuff imported into Japan from the US becomes USIM No imported or exported products can be termed "domestic" even if the parent company itself is based in the importing country. This is part of what all the tariff debates are about. A Mustang made in the US would be domestic and not taxed. The same car made in Canada (if they went through with the threats) would be considered an import and tariffs would apply even though both are Fords. Holy crap that is confusing when I see it in print. No wonder people get it messed up.

We all know what the literal definition of JDM is and then it is also a blanket term to signify Japanese brand. The acronym is so convoluted now that it even means Japanese inspired.

I particularly enjoy this definition and example on Urban Dictionary:
“The term JDM has long been used to "one-up" a friend or acquaintance at Krispy Kreme car meets and the likes. By adding a JDM item to your "ride" you are instantly "cooler" than your friend's USDM counterpart.” “mike: dude, I'm so JDM I sleep on the right side of the bed mike2: yea, well, I'm so JDM I only have a right testicle” |

So you spent half the thread stating you only buy "JDM" parts for their made in Japan quality and now you change the definition so that anything "inspired" counts. Well a knock off body kit hand made in a hovel in Lower Solbovia can be "inspired" by Japanese parts so that makes just about everything JDM Yooooo. Many Japanese brand items are not made in Japan whether you like it of not. JDM means domestic and changing the meaning to suit your point doesn't make it better.

He's also running secondary springs inside the primary ones instead of bump stops because of the aero loading.

LOL I always respond. The sillier things get the more I respond. It is an addictions I am sure. I probably should seek counseling.
