ive had k office, jic and a couple nice spring strut set up, but i grabbed a set of megans for my project knowing there not the best but there not garbage. And i know quality just figured ill upgrade and pass them down later. Its not like i would put them on a car i drive everyday. Why so concerned with what other people do ? kinda stupidddd lol

Windflowers is the same company that provides BC and Megan with their coilovers. Also the same company that provides Apex'i with their entry level series. An ex-Megan employee verified that Megan Streets and A'PEXi N1 Damper ExV are the same coilover.
I maintain my position. I left out A'pexi on purpose, same with PBM. However, PBM has it right. They do the R&D in house, and outsource the production to Taiwanese companise just like you mentioned. Taiwan's tech base is very, very impressive. In fact, I was there two days ago and it was simpley amazing. Aside from the 425908723479058 scooters, they had some impressive things. So I can't see things made their with good QC being inferior to Japanese products. In fact if you look at the bicycles they are making there, they have Japan beat hands down.

Do you think people look up to you and want to build their cars by what you say? Because well, they don't.
Are you really that incapable of a technical discussion, just like the other few in here who get butt-hurt over a thread that might somewhat insinuate that their cheapie coilovers, are cheapie coilovers ???

i wouldnt be surprised if they were.
but, look at it this way.
who cares where theyre made, all that would really concern me is reviews of people that own them, and if you can, drive a car that has whatever setup youre thinking of.
if something came out that got amazing reviews, and stood up to some abuse, i wouldnt care if it was made in america, or by a 10 year old in indochina

Exactly ^
The main reason I wouldnt run most of whats been mentioned, is simply valving. Overly stiff valving to be all jdmcraptastic, usually most of the reviews are by kids, who just seem to think if they are stiff and jarr you, they must be awesome.
