I have serious reservations that anyone would go to the lengths just to replace the spring for another with a higher -kx. The situation is just that of German offerings. Indeed, the Germans were quite pedantic and put a number on everything to keep everything in the kit sorted and then each mechanic applied his initials or mark for compensation & liability.

Pleasure us with some fotos when you have it all disassembled. Then when you are herding cats and get it all back together, a few more fotos would be excellent. Might I ask why you are attempting this feat?
