I dont understand a lot of the terms that you guys use so I figure the best way to find out is to ask someone who knows.
Alright, the bike is a 2003 Kona Stinky, it can be seen at konaworld.com.
I would like to get a replacment spring as per your advice but I have no idea what to order or where to order it from. I dont understand the whole eye to eye thing and the rest of the measurments for that matter. All I need to know is what size spring, what type of bushings and where to buy them.
On another note, how does the Manitou Swinger Coil 4 or 6 way compare to the one that comes on the stinky? I couldnt find any reviews and NO places that sell it.
Thanks again for the help, without sites like this Id be lost.
Kona Stinky - great bike! Here's the Fox application guide for late model Kona's:

It shows the spring for the 2003 Stinky. You can call Fox at 1-800-fox-shox and visit with them about changing your spring weight or other tech questions you have. Your LBS can get you a heavier spring if the stock spring is rated for a lighter rider. I'd start with a call to Fox and a visit with my LBS (or a visit with my LBS and have them call Fox ; )
