how can the ride be more bouncy with just spacers? same springs mean the same compression rate and the same goes for the shocks.

Go for Bilsteins - excellent shockers and cheaper than Old Man Emu's. Don't scrimp on DeCarbons, go the extra couple of quid for the Bilsteins as they can be removed and refitted easily without having to track down add ball sized M10 nuts with a 24tpi UNF thread pitch...

Usual places, shop around for best prices. Paddocks, John Craddocks, Jake Wright, local motor factors that stock Bilstein (Andrew Page up 'ere). Borrow someones LRM or similar mag and price them up off the pages in there and ring whoever has the best price. Bilstein B6 standard length gas shockers are £42.50 each for fronts at Paddockspares.
