there was a guy selling Original EK9 and DC2 springs. Both are a good upgrade the dc2 is stiffer than the ek9

below is the rating lbs per inch

96-00 EX - 165F/80R (P/P)
99-00 SiR (EM1) - 201F/99.8R (P/P)
97, 00-01 ITR - 250F/250R (L/P)
CTR - 240/240 (L/P)

a cheaper alternative is to install a front spring in the rear

The are the same spring rate but the front is Linear and the rear progressive

take a read


Linear Rate - are were the entire spring is wound at the same pitch, therefore every kg of force has the same effect on the spring throughout its length. For example, if it takes 25kg of force to compress the spring one inch it will take another 25kg (50kg in total) to compress it the second inch and so on until the end of the travel.

Progressive Rate - are wound progressively from a finer pitch at one end to a coarser pitch at the other, therefore having a rising rate resistance to compression. For example, a 15kg to 25kg progressive spring rate will take 15kg of force to compress the spring one inch, then an additional 17kg of force the next inch and so on until the end of the travel, the last inch takes an additional 25kg to compress it .
