Like Brad said, what are your goals and budget?

The new piece is big, costly, and only slightly less weight than the OEM set up, but it looks bad azzed. If improved feel and handling is the objective, the same can be accomplished for about $2k on improved stock geometry parts from Firm Feel or Hotchkis.  If " ohhh" and "ahhh" at the cruise in are the objective, that piece will accomplish it.
