For those mechanically inclined, are parts made in japan better than america?

Question

I am trying to find out for sure if parts in a car are of better quality if they were made in japan as opposed to a plant in America. If you know the answer, can you tell me how you know this? I tried looking online, but most studies show that american plants manufacturing japanese parts are now at par with the quality of japanese since the mid 90's...is that right or are parts made in japan still better?

Answer 1

depends on for what youre using it for for an import car and performance most likely yes, and american car will perform better with american parts

Answer 2

yes, JDM parts of "import" parts are better

i think so, on my friends supra, i put some tenzos, i mean they have to be high brand name.

but, i consider them over american made parts.. because in japan they specifically make them for that market, and they are always going to be a higher quality

hope that helps

Answer 4

It is not where they are made.

It is how they are designed.

Honda's made in America are just as good as the ones made in Japan. They are made the same way with the same materials.

But Japanese design of parts are better. They last longer and work better.
