the best price option would probably be to use the Progressive shocks in the rear (or cheaper lowering blocks) and a drop in kit for the front forks. As far as BEST kit goes?? That is debatable but I am sure you will get lots of opinions.

I used lowering blocks in the rear & slid the forks up the trees 1".
Total cost = $65.
