Innovators west, made right here in Kansas. Only thing about a fluid damper is that it will need to be serviced, innovators west recommends once a year if on a race deal or high performance.

Innovators West makes bad arse stuff for sure!  I've used them on high-end builds.  The crank trigger units they have are amazing. 

Depending on your application it may be overkill, though.  Like running billet steel rods in a 500hp build.  Sure they'll work great but do you really need to spend that much?  Food for thought.

Well, I look at it this way. Since he was already bitten in the buttocks by a $300 piece,  he may as well see what quality looks like for $340.

Could be wrong, it's always been easy for me to spend other people's cash. Lol.

OK, didn't realize the price difference was only $40.  For that amount the IW unit is a steal over the Summit brand hands down.  I've only used the crank trigger units which were $700+ IIRC (been a few years). 

I totally understand where you're coming from with Made in the USA and I try to do the same myself.  Not 10 minutes ago I convinced a customer to get an Edelbrock manifold over a Professional Products.  That being said, not everyone needs a $340 damper when a $220 PP Chinese unit will do the job at their level.  We sell them because they fit the bill for lower end builds.  I've used them on warmed-over Fords and Chevys and so far so good, no defects.  *knocks on wood*

Sorry for the thread-jack...  :screwy:  :o ;D

I forgot to thank bbf southwind. You are right they do need to be sent in every year or you void the warranty.
