T3 FULL coil over system (front and rear), who is using them

Quality in manufacturing is a very complicated issue. Let's take the tolerance factor as the most important one:

A designer can ask for a certain tolerance, but if the equipment is not right, then that design will never be realised.. So if we accept that a part of the production (the trd damper) of a manufacturer is of greater quality (meaning tighter tolerance) this would mean they would require the equipment to achieve this. So either they would use their existing production line, from which they make their own dampers (at the same tolerance - quality), or invest on a new "better" one, which is a significant cost, not only in equipment, but also in space, employees, training etc. I can only guess that if TRD came and ask for a tighter tolerance than KYB could achieve, they would say: "sorry guys, we just can't do it" rather than consider that investment.

And for that conclusion I have to suppose that an international manufacturer such as KYB, with many successfull years in the market would take full advantage of the capabilities of their equipment to make quality parts. Why wouldn't they?

Of course I could just be too naive!

Another thing that would make sense is that SPC in a contracted limited production could be more accurate.
