Front springs are stock but new. Scarebird offers a disc brake conversion. https://scarebird.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=64&product_id=175 I didn't install power steering, just toughed it out with the manual set up.

The ride with the stock suspension was quite comfortable and controlled.
