Re: Curvy shorter front springs?
Don't bother with dog bones until you sort the shock. Some kawa ones are OK, SRAD is good too if you're light but most are knocking on a bit.
You can't fit a longer rear spring that's not how it works. Ideally you would get penske shock for rear, ohlins for curvy isn't good.

Re: Curvy shorter front springs?
Most you are going to get is 337mm all up length of shock. At this point it is totally topped out inside, piston bump washer is against rubber. It cannot go longer.
337 is not enough. Plus it will handle worse than crap with zero sag
