Are there heavier springs available that can be purchased so i can throw in my forks for now as a cheap fix while i search for a KX500 set up?

I got mine from a member on here but RaceTech has them and I'm sure other suspension companies do too. Made a huge difference in the handling of the bike(E series).

What bike?

What forks?

What terrain?

What is your weight in full riding gear?

You won't find the correct rate springs for cheap, so just save money towards a newer front end if that is what you have your heart set on. The stock KDX front end can be made better, but by design, it can only be improved so far.

The KDX Kouch has its benefits.
