Then quit using the word "fix."

It would be irresponsible for me to suggest this, but if the springs are solid (not hollow), perhaps you could get them to "respond" sooner by thinning their diameter somehow.

You might consider a Brooks that is sprung in the front as well as the rear, like a B33. The thinner "stranded" springs in the rear might do exactly what you want.
