Fork springs - cutting them makes them stiffer, no need for aftermarket springs?
#4
The springs are already pretty short, specially those from the adjustable preload models. I read somewhere it is advisable they compress less than half its length, if you cut them they will be at their limit.

Moreover, if you end up with 0.95/1.4 springs they will be too hard, and the last part of their travel could be even harder than that as very compressed springs increase their rate quite randomly towards the end.
