Im sure anyone on here would offer to take you round a circuit and offer advice.

As for shocks and pads well thats just down to personal choice and money at the end of the day. You could start off with what you have now, and progress onwards and upwards if you find you are enjoying it, and want to take it further.
No point on spending alot of money and then finding you dont actually like it is there

Keep your eyes on the boards and book something that is getting alot of interest, but be quick as alot of them fill up pretty quick.
