For reference, my Ohlins have under 6" of total stroke - ie a 6" spring without helper is slightly preloaded. I am going to measure the droop this weekend to figure out if my 5" springs can work or if they will require a helper.

That's not how any of this works.
"ie a 6" spring without helper is slightly preloaded. " Do Ohlins not have adjustable spring perches? If you don't move your spring perch up when moving to the 5" spring you will be changing your ride height and bump/droop distribution and your spring will more than likely not have sag. What exactly is your goal of running a 5" spring? |
Assuming he wants to avoid tire rub by running the spring perch higher on the shock. 5" front springs don't seem like a great idea, how wide of tires are you trying to run?
Still on #600ish front springs? That seems like such a high spring rate for this chassis even with aero.
