Not really though. Good and bad can be measured and defined. Based on the suspension, the car and the spring rates, you can calculate what amount of damping you want for compression and rebound. And if this were a perfect world or at least a world where more manufacturers would produce dyno charts, that information could be obtained. And how good or bad they are could be determined. There is supposed to be a lot of engineering that goes into selecting spring rates and damping values, but it seems that a lot of people don't realize that.

The reviews on the internet don't really mean that much depending on who is saying. No offense against anyone, but most people's feedback needs to be taken with a grain of salt (or more) depending on their experience. It seems a lot of people will go from a stock blown suspension to something new and no matter what it is, say it feels awesome. But there are some people out there that know what a good damper is supposed to feel like and that it's supposed to do and these are the people who's feedback can be valuable.
