Wasn't there solid evidence that all three companies coilovers (Buddy Club, Tein and JIC) are all made in Taiwan

Who cares, I would still get a set of any of them

believe it or not, people bash the teins just as much as any other suspension. They say many things about quality and ride.

IMO, people will complain and post remarks about products either way. It's their nature. Buddyclub and Tein both are amazing, yet people complain.

I think the main advantage to TEIN (FLEX anyway) over most is the adjustability with the EDFC. Theoretically, you could adjust the suspension to solve whatever problem a customer had (too hard, too soft).

In any effect, full coilover suspensions are designed for track use. If a company designing racing spec suspension parts can get another .01g of lateral grip at the expense of a few squeeks, obviously they'll maximize performance over cabin comfort. Customers are buying a race car suspension and complaining about a race car ride.

people forget that when you upgrade something, something is gained and another thing is sacraficed. My tein squeek, and sometimes their bouncy, but i changed the suspension so its my fault.

Uhhh...are Tein even made in Japan? I have Tein springs, but I know that Tein has had a lot worse reviews of there coilovers than Buddy Club has. Congrats on the coilovers. If I were to get coilovers, I would contemplate the Buddy Clubs.
