How do I find what spring rate I should use and what to set my sag to. I'm going to get my suspension re-valved and put in the right rates. Thanks.

and for the spring

Is there any stock rear springs with a rate of 7.3 kg/mm that are inter cangable with mine? I do enduros and hare scrambles and they are 2 different rates for the shcocks. The enduro was 7.3 kg/mm for the shock and the hare scramble was 7.4 kg/mm. So pretty close. I will just go with what ever on I can get my hands on. Thanks.

7.3kg/mm seems like a really really stiff spring
you don't look that big in the photo
