Lee did get a set he didn't ever post the charts though. here is what he said when i asked him about them

It is not a great shock from what I saw, just better than a low of shocks that come in kits at that price range. Most kit shocks in that range (and some higher priced) are total junk. I am not concerned about the Omnipower as competition for the Koni Sport even off the shelf- an apples and oranges comparison if real funciton is expected

NO. I have never EVER heard of any problems with Zeal, and they're two entirely different companies/designs.
