What can I do to my `99 suspension?

If you want to stiffen up the rear a 04/05 zx10 rear shock is a good choice pretty much same length as a standard curvy and slightly stiffer spring. After 05 the zx10 springs are softer

Just a small correction. The Nitron shock is not an emulsion type as there is a Teflon coated free piston which separates the Nitrogen and oil. Nitron are used (the more expensive versions) in racing, not sure how many ex Kawasaki shocks are raced?

Length is good, spring rate is about 10% higher than standard which may be good depending on how heavy you are. However, the reservoir sticks up a quite a bit so the battery will be raised up significantly.

Will a zx 7 damper and spring do the job. There are a few on flea bay .not to expensive.

That's a De Carbon piston design.
Better than emulsion as doesn't froth, but not as good as proper one with compression adjuster.

There is a guy running at front in Melville club with a kawa shock.
