I think i saw another post of yours in the third, but in case it wasn't.
Its a bit of a compromise, the road tech one is a stronger unit, but it only works with coilovers and the strut mount isn't made to support the weight of the car so who knows how well it'll react.
The PA racing unit is said to be weaker, and not a very good idea for a street/autox/roadracer but again i've no proof, only word of mouth that its design is weak, but it can be made to work with separate strut/spring designs.

and theres the PA racing design

I'm personally waiting for something from either Steve Spohn or word on how har dit is to brace the PA racing unit, it may end up being easier to make you own unit if thats something you're into.

BMR also makes K-members, but I don't know too much about them.

I and a good friend both have the BMR K-Members and the fit was right on. Both cars get driven pretty hard and we haven't had any probs with them.
