Fair dos, I would search on here for Matris and garner some opinions. Mine has Racetech emulators and while it's no GSXR, it is a lot better than before, to the point of not bothering to consider any more changes. The emulators are adjustable but you have to take them out of the forks to do so. That said, I haven't done so in a long time so it's a moot point. The cartridges appear to be unadjustable, but for most people, specifying your weight etc. and leaving the manufacturer to do the rest gives them a setup they are happy to ride on rather than trying to figure out what to do with all the adjustments; this does indeed take some time and figuring out. So, I'd plump for the cartridges, unless you find better info on here about them.

Re. back end, not much to know there, new shock, leave the rest alone. For your weight you will need a heavier spring I'd say, but a ZX6 one will be better than stock so worth giving it a whirl as is, if it needs re-springing then you can swap back to stock while it's sent away to K-tech or whoever. I wouldn't put it off though, just get on with it, assuming you can afford it.
