I guess you guys are talking about fork springs not shock springs. It took me a second to figure out why you want a pair of them. If you really want stiffer, isn't just changing the oil to a thicker weight just as good? Or if you must mess with the spring, put some kind of spacer in the top to push the spring down a bit more to get it to support more weight.

Maybe for a little while. Carbs enter the blood within minutes and a few minutes after that the pancreas starts making insulin which makes them go one of two places - fat or muscle. If you run it off, great, but any excess goes to fat. Not so easy when you get older and are set in your carb gorging ways. So with all those carbs, its probably a good thing your shock is adjustable.
