What I've done is take the stock spring to a place that makes car leaf spring sets . Have them Rockwell test it and then have them heat treat it to a harder setting . There is a place local to me that I've used like that before and it cost me $120 to get the spring re-done. Same places can usually make a new harder spring if need be .

chop is right there or u could getb a heavier spring from the springworks too ,but unless ur really attached to that shock id just get another , i got my r1 shock thru ebay $120 delivered from the states , they come with full adjustabilityand only need a spacer made up for the bottom and a bit filed off the lower mount, contact oldskool he can give u the measuements for the spacer
