When the fork's extended, it's extended. The negative spring just helps the first portion of the travel feel softer for the little bumps.
Hang up a bike with a neg. spring. Pull down on the lowers and see if you can get it to pull out any further...you won't unless there's something wrong with the spring ie...broken, too short, waaaaaay to soft (softer then the neg spring)
