Hiya fellas,can anyone recommend a different set of springs for the MT without having to change the shock bodies?
My MT is getting on to be a bit worst for wear now, its nearly five years old and served me well but as you all know parts wear and I feel that the old bugger is in need of new parts.I have noticed the suspension action isnt the same as it used to be so have decided instead of changing the shocks just uprate the springs and oil.
Firstly-what is the poundage of an original FG MT spring?
Secondly-What is a decent heavier spring for the MT?
Thirdly-Is there a good weight oil to go with the heavier spring (F+R)
Thanks in advance.

Don't know about spring stiffness for the MT's but I know as a rule of thumb for the oil like BTB said 50wt and 40wt in front, to prevent squatting.
