Default 2002 400 FSE Uprated Spring Rates

I've picked up a very well maintained 2002 400 FSE. Everything is spot on other than the suspension which is woefully soft. I'm 17 stone (108kg) with my gear on. Can any of you guys recommend spring rates? TIA

6.0 on rear, 0.48 in forks.

Also can anybody tell me the model number of the Ohlins?

A little more is usually better on GG. 110mm but maybe go less if you pick up lots of mud.
The settings I am suggesting are for trail and woods enduro by the way not MX and for an average rider. I should also have stated that the spring rate was for Marzocchis but I think others would be the same. Certainly was the same in WP's on a KTM I once had.
