This seems to be the cause of a lot of confusion. When Tein says that they're meant to work with stock dampers, it means that they will fit struts that have the same dimensions and mounting points as the stock dampers. It's a combination of them mistranslating from the original Japanese label and them not explaining things thoroughly enough in English.
The similar goes with Eibach. If you read the German manuals, they indicate that their drop springs are built to work with
some cars' stock dampers, but not all (it specifies "not all"). They also caution the buyer that they should check with either the dealer or Eibach to ensure that the stock dampers can be safely retained.
Yes. It helps to be born into a family where the primary language is Japanese and your father is a quadralingual nut.
