I am well aware of that fact but I am just qouting the EBAY AD "made in Japan". Now this is also a fact that specific stuff made in Japan have a tendency to of higher pedigree as quality control is highly exercise along with the national pride that goes with it. What would think if the if you pay top dollar with the Tein coilover only to find that you got a fake (made elsewhere). Would u be ok with a copy for the same price?
BTW Teins are known to have been faked or copied.
