That’s a fair prize..... It’s too bad that I m over my budget..... 
Ti-Ni (titanium-nitride)...... that’s hard........ I believe it’s used or has been used on cutting bits for the lathe, milling, drill and many more.

What's actually happening to your forks that's gonna make you change the springs?
No, there's not a mention of spring specs in the Paioli manual.
There were uprated springs on ebay.DE but I've no idea what spec they are.
There's always the option of thicker pre-load spacers or heavier weight oil etc. unless you've been eating far too many emu pies and they are bottoming out

Emu pies  You must be kidding maybe Brian's tried them but I'm a steak and mushroom kind of guy 
Having put a much heavier spring in the rear the front is soft and mushy and my Guru reckons if we are going to set it up for my 120 kg of man muscle properly heavier springs are the way forward and not that expensive given all the other money spent
He is the top suspension guy in NZ so having tried all the settings if he says do it I nod my head and write the cheque

At 120kg you must be tall and carrying a lot of muscle 
Yeah I reckon at that weight you'd need heavier springs. I did get a second pair from Germany when they were on an offer, just remember those Wilbers are progressive and they can be harder to set up.
I'll have a look around and see if I can find these others.

My weight is average for someone 6ft 7"
Shame I'm only 6ft
That's in full leathers
The problem is the beer here is as good as our wine
But knowing the standard spring size would be a good start

You just need to brew some more of the sugar out and up the alcohol %
