Re: Bitubo Fork Springs .... any good?
I dunno if the springs are good or bad, but look at this thread where the tricked up SV seems to use them.

Re: Bitubo Fork Springs .... any good?
Springs are good, and yes Bitubo do forks but they are very costly and worth more than the bike in the other thread!

Re: Bitubo Fork Springs .... any good?
Yeap, you can tell as the spring coil tightens up towards one end (left in pic).

Re: Bitubo Fork Springs .... any good?
Bitubo make quality suspension, I should imagine that their springs will be similarly good, whether they suit you/your weight is another matter.
Do you have any more info on your prospective purchase?
