Cool idea, anyone spending $5k + on a fork and shock would like to have some idea from a suspension guru. It is a wish list fantasy for most of us, and truthfully to get the most out of the kits you have to have a full support program on site with springs and the ability to revalve. The complexity of doing it like that is enormous.
Vital has a reputation for telling it like it is. It would cost them too much most likely.
I will admit to just skimming it, hence the "paraphrased", but pretty sure I recall he liked the WP and thought the Showa was firm and had them re do it a few times. Don't recall his opinion on the KYB stuff so I'll give you that one for sure. I wasn't meaning to giving a play by play of the review and sometimes forget my sarcasm doesn't always shine through on the internet.
What is unique about the KYB kit fork is that with the other two brands of kit forks you are losing a little comfort to gain performance, but with the KYB kit fork it feels like the advantages in performance and comfort are equally matched.
I would assume you could get any of them to work awesome depending on who was setting them up.
