Odds are the NewGen front springs are adequate for your needs, and weight, as long as you under 220 lbs, or about 16 stones like myself.

You could look into in these, http://store.ricorshocks.com/product...20-1001nin.htm

Here's some more information about the subject,

Getting the suspension set up is the best performance upgrade you can do to the NewGen, and better tyres completes it.

Setting the sag is critical to complete the dialing in process.

You'll notice the difference when you upgrade the front, especially under braking, and under hard braking you'll really notice.
@InvisiBill is more up on suspension than me, shoot him a PM, he can explain it better than me perhaps
Cheers mate
