90% of the pros use Pep shocks. They are sorta expensive but are well worth the investment, especially if you are going to be racing MX. Also you didnt mention your a-arms. Do you have extended a-arms. If not get yourself a set of +2Wider +1Forward, this will give you the geometry of the 89R. Get your rear shock revalved for your weight. Also with the wider front end youwill need a wider rear, so look into an extended rear axle. Lonestar and RPM make nice axles. Also some thing to think about is a steering damper. Good luck with racing.

Oou forgot the most important thing of all, A decent suspension. You can only go as fast as your suspension will allow, and bottoming out off every jump, bouncing your way down the straights, and over-shooting every corner not only beats the crap out of your bike, but also your body. Even a good set of front shocks makes all the difference in the world. Other than that, it sounds like you're ready ot go!
