On the cheaper B-Max from Yokomo the cheap kit comes with plastic shocks to save money (just thank god that Schuey did not make them plastic too, there would be uproar!! LOL)
For once, I mostly agree, I also think that Schumacher know the Pro kit will sell more, and when you actually add up the cost difference, as don't forget, although Big Bores cost £80 (apparently), the kit shocks also cost, I don't expect to see Titanium turnbuckles either, no Carbon will save lots too.
