Default DRM Coilovers

Why isn't there more discussion about the DRM coilovers vs. LG and Pfadt. DRM is using Hyperco springs (will customize spring rates) and Bilstein shocks priced at $1,795. Both LG and Pfadt are using no name shocks and springs at that price. Aside from the adjustability factor, is there any other reason why more people are not running the DRM's?

My guess is that they are not as widely known as the other two you mention.

LG uses Bilsteins and Hyperco on their G2 kit that sells for $2,395. That's a $600 price differential.
