Stiff springs for MC

I have a 05 MC with the sprots suspension and 40mm offset 16" rims sod with 205/55 tires. And the bad new is that my wife and myself are in well into the 200+ pound bracket. As a result the rear tires tend to rub the wheelwell liner upon hitting a sharp bump. I want stiffer springs without changing ride height to eliminate the rub.

Does anybody know of anyone that makes stiffer springs that could replace the stock springs without changing (lowering) ride height? All I have found so far are stiffer springs that also lower ride height.

Oops- Wrong forum, Sorry

Why don't you try changing the shocks instead of the springs? I would try going with the Koni FSD. That would give you the best ride with out compromising ride height. And you will be surprised how much the ride will smooth out too. just my 2c.
