Just finished building my B44 and (I Know people will think I'm biased but....) it is without doubt one of the nicest kits I have ever built. It's the very first kit I have ever built that didn't need sandpaper and shims to get the wishbones moving free without too much slop. In fact the whole thing just kinda went together. I can't wait to run it!
To answer some of the questions above>>>
The gears as new are notchy, they always are and generally just require some running to get right. I haven't run my car yet, so can't say for sure, but my plan is to run it shimmed as the manual suggests for 30 mins on the bench, then give it some track action. Grease is good though, it certainly can't hurt.
Shock limiting - no shims should be ok, but probably one small white shim in the rear would be good to start and none in the front if you run the outside hole in the wishbone or one shim if you run the inside hole. If you want more midcorner steering then take shims out of the front shocks.
