Emulators are, well, a wee spring-loaded valve, basically, that makes your suspension work better. Very nice mod. But yeah, springs and oil makes good sense as a first mod, if you decide you still want more you can always go back and fit emulators after as the springs will still work- dead easy.
Well, like I say, you're welcome to either a supervising eye, or you can make the coffee while I do it, or any mix thereof
It's really a very easy job, if you can work a spanner at all you can do it yourself, but it's nice to have backup.
