I'm gonna beef up my suspension for my weight and am getting a .48kg/mm fork spring and a 5.4 rear spring, just wondering, personal opinions, which brand should i go with, race tech or factory connection? thanks!

Neither.. Both are likely made by the same company. What bike do you have?

There are 3 US manufactures, a few Asian and a couple of EU manufactures that are doing large scale production for the aftermarket. All you’re after market companies’ use these for there private label springs. Eibach IMO is the premier US manufacturer and Merewede is the best EU Company. I've dealt with all of them and it’s a mixed bag. They all have strengths and weaknesses depending on what you need. But in your case I would do the Eibach, the quality of the Pivot works stuff is not very good so you may consider other options and use Motorex fork fluids.
