i weigh 195 lbs, and i put .46 springs in my forks, and a 5.6 kg rear spring in the back end. my ec 300 rides like a 50 horsepower couch! never bottoms on either end and yet it is smooth and supple all the time. don't be afraid of buying the springs that will support your weight. bigger springs don't equate to being harsher, in fact just the opposite is true. it doesn't really matter where your riding, you still want to spend your time in the top 1/2 of your available travel, not in the bottom 1/2, by having to weak of springs to hold you up.
