On the shocks, what's your priority: ride, cost? If "ride and bugger the cost" then look at King or Fox or whatever crawls out of the Donahoe mess. If cost matters, then OME are excellent coilovers for the cost, but they're not the Rolls Royce like the shocks at 2+ times the price.
P.S. EDIT: amazed that bugger gets past the filter nazi software. Do they know what it means? I even tried the 'w' word that rhymes with "banker". Made it through just fine. The word is so bad I edited myself on this re:edit. WOW. wowy-wowy.

I don't think the site is up on British slang. Let me see..

Bugger
Nope. Seems to just be American boo boos that get filtered.

I'm with Mir. I have the OME and am more than pleased with it. If $$ is no object then get some adjustables, but for the money, Old Man Emu can't be beat.

M8 1.25 x 35mm is the bolt size, grade 10.9 you need 16 of them with lock washers and washers. Give me a call and we can shoot you a pack of what we use with our sliders. They will be cheaper than what the local hardware store will charge for high-grade alloy (10.9) bolts.
The SAW system being “To stiff” is most likely having the preload improperly adjusted on the coil overs. Since the SAW uses a 700lb spring it only needs 0.25” to 0.375” (6mm to 9mm) of thread exposed above the lock collar for a full 3” height suspension. Where as others us an off the shelf 650lb spring and require cranking up the pre load to give a full 3” height.
I say the same thing OME is the best suspension performance for the $.
SAW vs OME vs the world:)
