Typically not found in the automtovie world, but as the whole, it's the best setup out there, while being the cheapest overal. Bolt in like stock, no need for cam gears either. These cams prove themselves constantly both NA and Turbo....and IMo are the best cam out there to mate with a 400 hp 28RS or 2871 .64 car. Dump truck torquey midrange and some nice lift to boot.
By the time you go out and buy all of the fancy springs/retainers/nonsense from BC, and then the crappy cams, you'll have over 1000 dollars into your head, and make less than the JWT Setup.
The bigger thing to worry about are properly designed parts, that actually work with the engine. Unlike BC, JWT actually does true cam reserach and development (beyond just throwing a duration/lift out there and hoping it works) they have extensive development in their lobe profiles and ramps (go figure as they make a big lift cam that is safe on stock stuff).
To me the BC stuff are really just improperly designed for the engines...but this is what you get with a copy cat company. Sure it may work, but work well is another. Not my valvetrain as they say, and I can point out countless first hand examples of both turbo and N/A variety to me that have been running S3's forever, without an issue, all making great power.

Cody, you on JWT's payroll yet? :P I swear you're their best internet sales rep.
In all seriousness though, I'd be saying the same thing as Cody except you live in Japan, which makes getting the JWT's a lot more expensive than the Tomei PonCams. While not exactly as great as the JWT's, they are more than capable of doing the job, also while retaining the stock valve train.
Also like Cody, I'm not a fan of BC components, and would rather see you get either new oem valve springs, or tomei/hks ones should you be set on replacing them.
