Spring rate?
Has any one come across a spring rate chart to give an idea of what rate for what weight for what forks or shock?

Some seem to think their recommendations are a little high
I disagree, and I could have saved myself a lot of time and money had I just bought the springs Race Tech recommended YMMV

You may want to try with the stock KX springs and see how you like them. It's easy enough to change springs later if you decide you want lighter or heavier springs. Front and rear sag measurements and feel will tell you which direction to go.
BTW, are you sure a KX was heavier than a KDX? Doesn't sound right.

According to http://www.mx-tech.com/?id=spring_generator when I put in both the KX should have a heavier spring rate than the KDX. Maybe I am wrong but I know that they are both different.
