Best springs/ struts for the front ? 700 1989

The kit from IPD has springs that are specialy made made to bring the rear back within 1/2" of the original Nivomat IRS setup. The shocks (modified also) are Boge.

IPD - kudos to them - has agreed to swap the springs. Rob there has become aware that the springs that I got were the wrong ones (his suppliers fault), resulting in the rear being too high.

I still want to make sure that I get some springs/struts or maybe just struts for the front- that will be in balance with the Boge setup on the rear. The 760 setup from the factory has a soft ride - hence the query about the possibility of a somewhat stiffer spring for the front. What I think I am seeing now is that the strut has more to do with this than the spring.

Thanks for the response.
