Default Shock mod springs?

I upgraded my shocks on my volcano to traxxaes emaxx waterproof ones. They are very stiff, are there any replacement springs for them that are a little softer and if so where can i get them?

i filled the aluminum shocks on my tornado bb with 50 wt oil and they are much more plush. also probubly because its not half air any more. but it takes more to bottom it out now. because just jumping off of a curb it would bottom out. the oil that was in the shocks looked like old motor oil or even the oil they use to machine parts with that they use to keep the drill bits cool.

LOL, i like that

Filling the shocks with thicker oil is always good and all the way to the top always helps. also you can put a piece of fuel tubing on the shaft, like an inch or less, this will also stop the shocks from bottoming out.
