You can buy new 7/5 springs that fit kts.
Also, I wouldn't expect the damping on these to be better than kts. Twin tube is simply a crappy damper setup for high spring rates. Yes it can be made to work, but no, it can't ever be as good as a quality monotube damper.
The benefit of a twin-tube structure over that of a mono-tube is the range of dampening for harder and softer settings and it should provide a better ride for a given level of control. The downside to a twin tube is that there are companies that make cheap inexpensive shocks, and these are no bargain to experience. This is the typical stereotype of a twin tube structure.
What are the benefits of the mono-tube shock? They dissipate heat better and allow for finer damper adjustment (but have a smaller range) and are less likely to have aeration and cavitation.
I think the above review of our product helps to put our dampening characteristics into perspective as well as our manufacturing quality.
