Make sure your frame is solid. I've heard from teams that have had problems with mecanums functioning properly with even the slightest wobble in the frame. If you use the kit metal, I'd recommend gussets and steel pop rivets instead of the hardware they offer.
Especially with the 6" wheels, the plates can dig into the carpet and prevent strafing and turning. Make sure there isn't any wobble in your wheels!
