No, Benen is not a JDM company. It is a US company that sells overengineered parts that aren't really necessary to folks who think they stand to gain something by purchasing a whole ton of different braces.

I highly doubt anyone is really going to be able to tell the difference between a Neuspeed bar that bolts to all of the front upper control arm mounting holes, and a Benen bar that mounts to the sheet metal and the fire wall. 80 bucks is still 80 bucks.
