GRS, was proven at some point that it had one of the best low temps for front mount. God knows where i read it, probably a old ff magazine. I can't comment on the rs500 style airtec but originally the airtec front mount was the cheaper option for people wanting a front mount when they first got released and have sold well but i don't know if that means they actually any good compared to the rest of the competition out there like forge,pace,grs etc.
