Spring Rates For Adults?

Hey guys, just picked up a crf150r expert last night. My question is, what spring rate would be best for me. I weigh about 165 with gear on. BBR fork springs are rated at 44kg and their shock spring is 6.2kg. Two Bros fork springs are 40kg for 150-175lb riders and 42kg for 171-200lb riders. Their shock spring is 6.6kg for 150-170lb rider and 7.0kg spring for 171-200lb rider. Can anyone give me some feedback on the BBR springs vrs the Two Bros springs? Thanks.

Try it first-- just make sure that it's set up according to the manual's stock settings. I weigh about the same and mine is perfect right out of the box. --L*64

i weigh 175 and ride hard (70' doubles). i have the .44 up front along with heavier and extra fork oil and it's good. out back i have the 6.2 and is a little soft but havent bottomed it yet either (it was just hard to set the sag perfect)

Thanks for the input 2wheeltyson. I was thinking about going with the .44 up front and the 6.6 on the rear. Anyone else have upgraded springs??
