It is alarming that 888 -- a competitor -- already supply some control COTF parts such as the pedal box. If they also supply sealed shocks in their capacity as Sachs distributor, that would be a bad look.
I don't understand your fascination with 888 ( or any other competitor for that matter ) supplying CONTROL PARTS. All control parts are the same, have to be the same, and there will be massive consequences if they aren't the same. Supercars dictates the part, and that's it. So to infer that 888 manufacturing and selling control items would give them some kind of advantage is just ludicrous.

I would rather buy control parts from 888 than say Teckno / Team18 / MSR as they are a much bigger outfit and have the proper facilities and capabilities to manufacture the control parts to a high quality, and cheaper ( scale of economy ).
