Should have mentioned that changing the springs is relatively easy on normal adjustable suspension as you just wind off the platforms and swap springs, then retension and set ride height.

With the Ohlins it looks to me like you'll need to disconnect the hose to the reservoir in order to slip the springs over the top of the necks.

I am pretty sure that with a suitable set of blocks to record initial height we could swap springs and reset to the same height afterwards (this will mean that Geo will similar to what it was before you started).

As to corner weighting I cannot help, and of course you would need to reset the toe angles once you were happy with the corner weights, so it really needs to be done somewhere properly flat.

Cheers,
