Have a look at the weight of the spring you have now, then get one that is 50 or 100 pounds lighter. Kep trying different springs until one feels right, then buy it.

yes that is WAY too stiff i weigh 75-80 kgs and a 500 was fine for me lol it depends on what your doing but i think you'd be looking at between a 400 and 500

The weight of the spring depends on the leverage ratio of your bike. This is a function of rear wheel travel vs the stroke length of your shock. The best person is aus to help you with this is bear from dirt works.

Go to your local bike shop and get them to ring dirtworks/bear or look them up in the phone book. Also try and find their number in one of the aussie MTB magazines.
