After trying both a pieced together system (Dinan springs & new Boge gas shocks) and more of a tuner package (replaced front Boge with Dinan revalved Konis), I can say that the biggest difference is that you'll get less surprises with the tuner package. My pieced together system bottomed sometimes, whereas the package is much more refined under extreme circumstances, such as big bumps and bumps during hard cornering. Depending upon your expectations, H&R/Bistein, while it shouldn't bottom, *may* be surprisingly harsh.
