@SpookDog And according to fowlers the springs between the two models are the same.

@HOTSHOT-III I believe the DTX has shorter stiffer forks.

That’s a typo for the 503mm spring wear limit, it’s supposed to be 499mm. Hell of a wear limit otherwise!.
I read somewhere that dtx springs are 515mm and progressive as standard. Probably the same as TZR springs if the info was right...Got a reply from fleabay: not in UK stock, 40-45 day order wait. Springs are 515mm x 3.9mm and are rated for 65-110kg weight riders...
Sounds perfect, just have to trim the spring spacers by 12mm. Shame about the wait!...

@SpookDog said in Progressive fork springs?:
Did you just delete the spacers completely? Any noticeable improvement? Also are the springs linear or progressive?...
Cheers bud!...Didn't remove anything as memory serves.I had 2 forks,one DT125 and later one DT200,I had purchased every part to rebuild the 125 before having the 200.Compared everything and found to be the same except the springs.So I used the springs and the air adjust caps from the 200 forks.
They don't bottom easy as far I tested them and seem better for the SM style than the 125 springs,but soft to go trail ride.
