Agree with Chessie, standard weight and air gap however, due to better matching of the springs to your weight, you may experiment with a slighty increased air gap, say, 10-15mm to help with a less aggressive progression of spring rate at the end of the suspension travel. You can always increase the gap if it doesn't suit. Manufacturers (mainly Japanese's) up until 2000-2003 usually used softish springs (to cater for 65-75kg riders) and used reduced air gaps to counter for heavier riders from suffering servere "bottoming" of the suspension.
