Yeah, a lot of potential error in that method. If your 80kg, I think that a .46 would beat the hell out of you in the woods. My Cannondale 440, a big 4-stroke with the compression braking of a diesel truck, came with .47s and it was almost unridable stiff.
I have large hydraulic press with a pressure gauge, and I have measured shock spring rates as an experiment. Not knowing the calibration of the guage though, I don't put too much faith in the results.
