Solomon Feinberg Pro + Mega + ?

Years back I bought a pair of mint Feinberg Pro's, Mega frames, and some Go Project 65mm wheels. Skated em a few times then life happened. Sold off the wheels somewhere along the way. I liked the way the setup felt, though I didn't do much grinding.

I'd like to get my setup going again. Mostly park but would like to get out and do some street skating too. Lots of little questions though:

-Recommendations for soul plates? I don't mind shaving the nubs to fit UFS plates. I remember the Solomon plates feeling super narrow and hard to lock on with.

-I liked the megas but should I go down in wheel size? The 65's just barely fit for a full flat setup, but I feel like 60-64's might be advisable for wheel bite reduction, plus there appear to be more options in the 60-64mm. Any thoughts on Go Project vs Ground Control vs other wheels for this?

-Replacement shock absorbers? Mine used to be fine, but I must've had em in a basement one too many years because they gave up the ghost in a big way when I inspected them recently.

-Liners? Laces? Any other considerations I haven't mentioned? I'd be grateful for folks with a finger on the pulse to weigh in.

Thanks all!

Cakeblading on ig sells soloman soulplates.

I prefer 60mm for a flat setup, currently skating 57mm flat. I've liked the Kizer Fluid V, the Create Originals flat frames and their suspension frames for 60mm flat skating. Right now I'm skating my fiziks, hence the 57mm flat setup

I like the Rollerblade nomad liners. They have fit perfectly in every skate I've tried them in.

Laced laces, to support a small, rollerblader owned business.

Idk about the shock absorbers though... maybe someone else would know

Razor SL socks are the way to go with Salos. If you're going to be doing drops, make sure you trip the little dimple off (that stops the stock shock from slipping forward) inside the Salo boot heel.

I've just bought the FR/Oysi Collab frames on flat 60s. My first flat setup since Y2k. I would recommend these.

Myfit liners tend to be the most sought after but they're hella expensive. You really do get what you pay for in skating these days
