Default 2018 EC300 Springs Advice

My riding weight is about 102 kg, or 225 pounds so need heavier springs than stock 0.42 kg/mm fork and 5.2 kg/mm shock.

Thinking I should get 0.46 for fork and 5.8 for shock. Primarily tight single track in 2nd and 3rd gear. 62 year old trail riding C pace and sitting about 50% of the time.

Using the stock springs when I preload the shock spring for recommended 35 mm free sag I get 120 mm rider sag which is 20 mm too much.

Do you agree I should buy 0.46 and 5.8?
What suppliers and brands should I be looking at?
Never bought springs for KYB stuff before.

I love my Gasgas and want to spend more quality time alone with her in the bush isolating myself from Coronavirus!

Thanks guys, Steve
