Yeah, those kits are great, but with a $550 GB on 4 Konis, and B&G available at $161, that's still an $80 premium for "Koni" springs. Yes, I know all about the "matched spring" mantra, but personally, I don't buy it with Konis. The struts are adjustable, and can typically handle (IIRC) anything from "stock" spring rates up to 300lbs/in or maybe more.
Now, if somebody managed to get a GB going that brought the price down, it would be more worth it. But, you're not going to get SPM down below their intro price of $791, IMHO, so unless you find the kits somewhere else... (Shox.com? Corey?)
