I think Scootopia have started making their own progressive springs now. British made and might be worth a look.

What brake are you using? Outboard hydraulic disc with Nissin (or similar) calliper?

i think you may need an anti dive set up not new springs!

Therein lies your problem! These calipers are from a Honda motorcycle with more speed and larger wheel, they're just too much for a 10 inch wheel. Your options are either to change you brake or fit anti dive, don't throw any more money at springs and dampers, you already have the best [WINKING FACE]
