No, I didn't need to. As I said in an earlier post, the linear springs are 296mm whereas the originals are 316mm, the valves add about 16mm, so total length is actually about 4mm shorter than the old spring. I've got spare washers from the donor forks if I need them but I'm hoping the preload adjusters will be enough to make up the difference.
