I have the St2126LSR and love them. You will need to be tedious in setting up preload as they only require .035 +/- .005. Ive sent my motor to 8200 with BTR .660 springs no issue. If your looking for just a basic upgrade the regular bucket lifters are fine too. Doing a cam swap with the linkbars was easy with the rods.

CamMotion makes link bar lifters for both LLSR and hydraulic applications as well. I have no idea how good they are though or if they are rebrands.

I think the hydraulic version is like $400.
