Straight wound(not progressive)Fork springs which I believe they are RaceTech) to suit either the Curvy or Pointy....a spring is a spring provided diametre is correct size and length appropraite ;).

One spring is .9kg/mm and other is .95kg/mm(making average spring rate of .925Kg/mm.)
This is completely okay and normal...especially when trying to fine tune spring rates. See link below and go down to 'Step Three'

All you need to do is use the correct length spacer. Either cut down your original spacers or use Schedule 40 PVC pipes(cheap as cheaps and means you retain the original, unmolested ) .

For the Curvy, should suite riders between 122kg to 130 KG

For the Pointy, should suit rider between 105kg and 115kg

The above rider weight(without gear/in Birthday suit) guide got with help from the racetech site..link below
