    TFTuned to teh rescue!
    they have an online spring calculator

    hope that helps



    EDIT:
    Oh, and if you're still confused, give TFTuned a call, they're incredibly helpful, and can spec the right spring for you, they usually ask a few questions like bike model, weight in all your gear, riding style, etc etc.
