You could always do what I did on my Dippy - chop one coil out.
It works well if done carefully and mine handles so much better for it.

Got pair of spax -40mms' here if you want them, however they have had a coil out of them already...lol
they will still just fit on a standard shock without dislocation.

Tell you what - come down and have a look at my dippy, that one has had a coil carefully removed from each front spring.
If you like how it sits and handles we'll just swap the front legs over, mine is gonna need new ones anyway.
