Where can I buy shock and fork springs?

My body weight (<135lb) is too light for the standard setup and sure enough, I can't set static and riding sags correctly.

There is an OEM part for a softer rear shock coil but it costs more than $300? and there is no OEM fork springs for lighter or heavier riders.

I wonder if there are other sources that are selling third party parts. 

Not sure how critical to have correct springs for beginners, but >$300 seems a bit too much...

Your help would be appreciate.

Jitsie sells aftermarket Tech fork springs and Ohlins shock springs. Lightest springs available are still for a 80kg/176lbs rider though.

Thanks. This is exactly what I needed.

According to the manual, 80N/mm is the standard for the rear shock and the 75N/mm one is for 55-70kg. So, I guess Jitsie site is wrong. I have to find out if Jitsie would ship it to US, though.

Edit: I found a Jitsie dealer in US. Thanks!!
