Modifying soft 9,5L shock absorber to very hard - 3rd party spring needed

[Ivan_M]

So as title suggest, I would like to replace the spring in the larger shock absorber because the genuine one with very hard spring is expensive as hell. I tried searching for a data of the spring so I can buy some 3rd party but unfortunatelly I didn't find any. The only data I need is the stifness of the spring (N/mm), the easiest way how to measure it is putting weight on it till the absorber reach its end and writing the weight here. Thank you very much for any input.

I'd actually wait a little bit, the 42070 set probably includes the springs, and that should pull the price down.

Some people may not like it, but I'm all for 3rd party springs, like this:

It's cheap, smaller, and we can go for ANY strength . Can also incorporate some dampening effect by inserting a half bush right above the spring!
