I decided on his after A LOT of research, but at the time the only Full Floaters that were available were Moser, Speedway, and The GMR. I was sold on the bearing spread and MUCH cleaner hub design and finishing that GMR did.
But today there are a couple more options to consider Baer and Chicane/Speedtech. I don't really like the Baer kit, it just doesn't look as stout at the GMR setup but it does include the e-brake which is nice. When I look at it I think of a swiss army knife, there are piece/parts everywhere and it may do the job but not as well as other setups.
Now I am REALLY intrigued by the Chicane/Speedtech kit, it's a really good design and I really like the fact that they use some OEM off the shelf components. I would jump all over this if ABS was something that I really wanted to have, but again comparing hardware between GMR and this design I would say GMR is the stronger design.
This is all my opinion, and I haven't actually done any stress analysis on any of the kits nor have I run the GMR stuff yet so I don't know how it will handle the racing environment.
