I put King Springs and KYB shocks in my BA to replace the factory gear and was really happy with the improvement. My FG is light years ahead of that, but is a generation newer chassis-wise, and has Lovells springs, Koni Reds and Whiteline sway bars - so impossible to tell which is making the difference. If you are fitting it yourself, you can do the KYB/Kings for under $800 (or just keep your current springs). New front springs are very difficult to compress with home style spring compressors, so may have to factor in dropping them off somewhere to get them assembled. Other than that, the job is a piece of cake. Rears springs and shocks come out separately and the front assemblies are pretty easy to remove.
