Okay, so my group started playing SR4 a few months ago. Barring a brief period noodling around in SR3, this is the bulk of my Shadowrun experience.

My group wants me to run a game centered around gangers. Since this would be my first time running the game, I thought I'd ask you guys for advice on how to scale the power level down. I understand this idea is in no way new to the SR community, so I'm hoping for lots of wisdom regarding possible BP limits, cost alterations, etc.

Thanks, guys!
