Curvy shorter front springs?

I'm thinking about getting Sonic 0.85kg/mm front springs with 15w oil but can you get slightly shorter ones, not much maybe -20mm?

The question you're asking is perhaps not quite the right one:

You can have a shorter spring and a longer spacer, or a longer spring and shorter spacer. However, if you were to have a 20mm gap at the top of the spring before the fork cap you'd create a fork that was at best horrible, and quite possibly dangerous.

If you wanted to change the geometry, you can adjust the forks up through the yokes by ~10mm without any clearance issues, but that's about as far as you can go.

Yeah a spacer would be put in to take up the space.
oops was getting confused with cars , so the yokes is the only way, I just think it looks too high at the front and I want better turn in by lowering it.

Mine have been put thru the yokes, see link:

I bought it like this and personally don't like it, am looking at raising it back up.

Oh yeah, how many mm was it from the top?
Also does anyone know the colour of the standard rear spring? Mine is yellow and was thinking it might be different.

Its around 15-20mm it doesn't foul on the mudguard either.

The curvy has a yellow spring, pointy has a white one.

BTW, putting a shorter spring in the forks and then adding longer spacer is going to put you back to the same starting point.

If you want better turn in, raise the rear. Unless you're a bit short?

or do both

(higher rear, lower front)

I'm against lowering the front, ground clearance can become an issue unless you have higher pegs fitted.
