Help: Spring Weights

I currently have a Nukeproof 800 x 2.25 spring fitted to a Fox Vanilla

However according to Mojo, calculated against my weight it should be a 450 X 2.25

Am I really going to notice much difference in how the shock and spring behave or should I just forget about it for now?

Cheers

    That's a huge difference, you'd certainly notice it, right now you'll only be getting about 2/3's the travel you would get with the softer spring (allowing for compression damping staying roughly the same).

    How did you end uo with the spring you have?
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.
