I was just wondering if this particular product used monotube construction for their shock. Judging from your response it doesn't sound like it is. Would you please kindly educate me on the advantages of twin-tube designs (other than cost)?

Generally a twin tube will have better ride quality. Partially because of the stiction/friction inherent in a monotube and the lower gas pressures in the twin tube.
Monotubes generally are better for performance due to more fluid capacity and larger piston area (more damping control).
All this is of course debateable and you can exceptions to the "rules" if the valving is good enough....or if the valving sucks. Valving is key.

They are a perfect street, daily driver, track once and awhile type option. Quality is good. THe ride is not bouncy and GMG was able to adjust them perfectly for a aggressive street type setup. Again, I'm very happy with them and I've had KW3's, KW2s, Billstein's, etc...The Cusco's are a great option if you don't want to spend over $2k.
