What would basically be the difference between SpeedDirect front semi coilover and...
...and the front transverse suspension kit sold by Ecklers?
I have the Eckler's one and I was wondering if it would worth the expense of a swap with the semi coilover setup...
Advantages in weight? Steering accuracy?
I have already the tubular front a-arms and a couple of front race shoks.

Why not think outside of the box. When I went from my custom 500+ pound rear steel to a 420 mono. I liked the adjustability of my front semi coil over so much that i considered getting the lightest rear mono fiber spring that i could and buy the adjustable QA-1 spring over shocks. Used in conjunction of both mono and spring you could adjust from 300 some pounds to over 500 pounds for drag racing days.
Why couldn't you do the same on the front? You have a front mono just figure out a QA-1 with a lighter spring semi coil over shock where the two of them together could bring in up to what ever you needed for road race days

I mean, will the front FG spring still be needed with SpeedDirect kit?

On the speed direct kit a front fiberglass spring is not used. Semi-coilovers upper end of spring sits in original spring pocket and the lower end of coil rests on the adj nut on the shock.
