so get this.  just got off the phone with progressive, and with the difference of 30mm between the new spings and my old ones, he said that would be very odd.  now I wonder if the springs that were in there were even the right size to begin with.  mine has about a 2-3inch spacer in it now.  he also said to have 1/2 -3/4 inch pre load.  (which I assume means 1/2 -3/4 inch out side the fork tube prior to putting fork cap one) damn why cant shit be easy???
