I will need to look into the costs involved in doing the upgrade as I am a retired old git now and the pennies need to be watched. I also run a small sports car and a Vauxhall van.
I know the feeling, retirement is around the corner for me and I am absolutely unprepared (a divorce 8 years ago took care of my retirement fund and a third of my income)... I do try to spend my money wisely. I paid $2,500 for this '03 with 13,000 miles (when I bought it) and the most significant upgrades so far have been Ivan's jet kit (about $400 with the installation and carb cleaning, which was needed), HID projectors (about $60) and an Ohlins steering damper ($200)
From what I have read, the R6 shock mod is by far the best bang for the buck, suspension-wise. I will comment on what I think of it when I actually do the swap.
