Anytime you see an item that is manufactured outside the good old us of a and sorry to be so stereotyping you usually think of cheap made Chinese knock-offs or made in Taiwan or Maiden Malaysia or something of the sort but surprisingly these shocks even though they are from a US manufacturer were assembled in South America Mexico and Venezuela to be exact needless to say they are of astounding quality and much heavier than the OEM parts that I took off my automobile I have used them and had good experience with them on pickup truck applications and I decided to try to mount for my sedan I highly recommend them for any vehicle for the mere fact they are nitrogen charged and have a great ride and performance feel three cheers
