Hitler question! i.e. search before posting. Tonnes of stuff on here about this. Forks springs are too soft so yes upgrade, best with linear not progressives. GSXR rear shock fits but not that simple, spring is probably too soft, ZX6R is better or just pay for a real replacement from Nitron, Ohlins etc. For the full deal you could go for a GSXR front end, if you have a pointy SV then it's easier than on the curvy.
