FYI, the NewGen/300 have .65kg/mm fork springs. If you can find some cheap, "pretty close" might be a better value than buying "exactly right" for full price. Also, the Intiminators are designed to use a lot of damping, so they can tolerate a softer spring better too.

I'm not trying to discourage you from spending money on the right parts, just pointing out an option that might be nearly as good for a lot less.
