175lb spring for Crosslink?

Anyone have a 175lb spring for a front SmartShock that they would be willing to part with? (For the right price, of course!)
My mother just joined the ranks of K2 ownership (with a Zed hardtail). Must be a retirement thing... At any rate, she weighs about 110, and I'm thinking she won't get full enjoyment out of her fork with the current 200lb spring.

Hey there Matno.
If you cannont find one, it is possible to grind the diameter untill desired softness is achieved. I have been doing it for some years on motorcycle springs. It is used quite often on custom motorcycles for the look.
If you have access to a belt sander, you can work it all around somewhat, and then install it and have her try it. Do again untill satisfied, then polish and paint.
I did do this on my coil swinger spring untill I got it just right at about 425lbs(guessing, but who cares).
I will do it for you if needed.
