Re: What fork springs? brand and type.
What do you mean crap? Thicker oil does not equal better.
The 22.3cSt one?

Re: What fork springs? brand and type.
That's not how I'd define crap.
Viscosity @ 40 deg is one factor in a huge number of them, VI performance, wear, additive package... all need considering. Maybe that crap oil is actually great compared to maxima or something because it keeps its viscosity after 2000 miles. There isn't really good or crap in suspension... they're all factors which can be manipulated. Take an example, you compare some ohlins springs @ 1.0kg/mm for you to say WP springs at 0.7kgmm for a 125 GP bike. Does that make the WP springs crap? Personally I think that oil is very light for stock forks and you should use something around 35-40cSt@40deg
