I'm not a mx champion so I don't fully compress my suspension too often.
I'm very satisfied with those spring rates,

sandblaster, where did you get your springs from? Looking at Race tech's website they do not list that they have fork springs or shock springs of that rate. The highest they list for the forks is .48 and 6,4 for the shock. I've convinced myself that I am going to buy the 0.57 fork springs and 6.7 shock spring per their spring calculator just having trouble finding somewhere that sells them both. Factory connection sells that shock spring but not the fork springs.

sandblaster:
I went with the highest spring they had for the shocks and the forks.
For you, I would call race tech and ask them
951-279-6655
If you find some that will work for you, write down what they are and I'll see what kind of a price I can get them for.
Also, check ebay... You can score some ridiculous deals if you know what you are looking for.

I appreciate all the help. I was able to track down some springs from Darrel at Suspension by Design. He had fork springs all the way up to 0.54 kg/mm and shock springs as heavy as 7.4 kg/mm. He was the only provider that I could find that had fork springs stiffer than 0.48 kg/mm
