I’ve got a 5.6kg shock spring, my static sag is 28mm and my rider sag is 115mm without riding gear. I’d like to be around 102-105mm geared up with static around the 30-35mm range. Will a 5.8 get me there or do I need a 6.0?
What bike?
Type of riding?

Davidgrip, I can add preload to reduce my rider sag to 105mm but my I’d have very little if any static sag left, the spring is too soft, not too stiff.

Remember the bike manufactures, general, spring the suspension for the average weight of the riders, which I believe I read about 180 pounds. If you happen to be a vet guy just out having some fun, like me, you can get away with with being a little "off" on the spring rate and get your sag close. However, 115 is a lot of race sag and the static is well off too. So, without knowing your weight and skill level it will be virtually impossible to say which spring rate will work for you. I went from the stock 5.5 to a 5.8 rear spring on my KX 450 the week after I bought it. But, Im 215 pounds and close to 220 with all my gear on.
