OK, I think I have a plan.

I've been offered some AVO shocks at a very reasonable price so step 1 will be to try them (I don't expect much improvement with just doing this)

Step 2 will be to cut the rebound springs and at the same time inspect the king pins for wear replacing if necessary. (now I expect to feel an improvement)

Step 3 will be to replace the king pins and bushes (if the result here is still unsatisfactory then onto step 4)

Step 4 will be to fit the SSL kit. I'm a tad concerned about the efficacy of the SSL kit with the plus 8.

Does this seem reasonable or fundamentally flawed?

thanks for your input chaps
