IRO is fine for what we do. It's just weaker than the big name LA kits.

i have done my research, I don't feel like spending an extra 3-400 for a different one. this kit works for me, and I know how some other people feel about this long arm kit, but so far all those people are people who have not run it at all. the people who do run it, like it.

thats all i plan on saying, cause i already have done the research, so far I've found many people who like it, and only 1 picture/proof of a failure which was due to an installment error

As I've said before, the IRO LA kit is fine for most people. That adjustment bolt is a weak point in the design, but the design is strong enough for most people. I personally would spend the extra money for a stronger design because I like to overbuild.
