What does a standard fork spring look like?
 
compared to a Hagon Progressive.

Finally got round to fitting my new springs tonight. Trouble is the ones I took out look identical to the ones I put in! A test ride revealed only a slight difference, probably due to new fork oil.

So unless someone tells me that stock springs look the same as Hagons, I'll assume I've wasted my time and £67.50

B*gger!

Why can't people tell you about modifications they've made when you buy a bike?

Seriously though, progressives have tighter coils at one end (top IIRC)

Just like the ones I took out, and the ones I put in!

The original springs in my k3 were progressive. They are wound tighter at one end than the other. New hagons made a definite difference.
If you put them side by side with the hagons the pitch is slightly different IIRC.

unless they got it new, they might not have made the mods themselves...
