Hey i have about £200 to spend on my Bocks, and wanna make some serious upgrades, currently got standard PJ's,

I think you would struggle to get tilting footplates for £200 tbh. They are not cheap at all and I don't think you caan buy them on their own. Best to check you like them before you enquire.

I think the best upgrades you could get atm would be a set of cuffs, upgraded bindings (if you can afford it some real sweet ones, not just the PJ upgraded ones. Altho, they are a great improvement) Might think about upgrading springs too to 7's. But make sure you try those too. They are not for everybody. Actually, a set of 7's springs, cuffs and PJ bindings would come to around £200 I think.

Definitely 7 Leagues, I don't think Poweriser springs are much better than PJ's aswell.

7's. Powerisers aren't really an upgrade imo. They cost more but it deffo doesn't make them better.

I would go as far as to say that I concider they newer proenergy 7 springs a downgrade
I tried a pair and the best I could say was "Unresponsive" and a bit soft

I have been bocking recently on one PJ carbon and an old PoweriSer spring and they feel like a pair so why pay more for the Poweriser

I believe that Skip springs are around the £300 mark at the moment but I may be wrong and yes they are amazing I can bock on a set of 640's which ar4e well under my weight and even though I bottom them a lot they still work well
