I am getting my rear spring powdercoated Kawi green this weekend.  I'm just not sure which spring to have done.  I have the E spring from the bike, and a stock SM spring from the shock I put on it.  I'm 160lbs without gear.

My sag as setup with the SM spring stock adjustments is 38mm bike, 76mm rider.  I think I should go back to the E spring, but I've been reading a bunch of threads on here, and have gotten answers both ways.

Any thoughts today?

You could just do both springs...Can't be that much more for just a spring.

I never checked sag with the E spring because it had the matching longer shock with .75" lowering links.  I've read that throws your sag numbers off, and makes the spring feel lighter anyway.
