I ran one on my 955i and to be honest I was disappointed, was it an upgrade over stock? absolutely but for the money you could have racetech completely rebuild your rear shock and it would drastically out perform it. I would try and find a second hand Ohlins or Elka

I have heard elka needs rebuilt less often than ohlins, from the guy who does parts canada factory zx6r-john sherrard

If i had the money, id buy an elka

I'd take that with a grain of salt, while John is great at what he does he is also a Elka rep....

I would talk to the your local suspension guy and see what he works best with seeing as presumably he would be doing all the work and adjustments.
