Wingspan,
Given the purple-color of the spring, I'm guessing that's a hyperpro spring?
(Also guessing, based on the fact that you are replacing the spring on a stock rear shock, rather than an aftermarket shock.)
I've considered the same change myself - be sure to let us know (or me, at least!) of your riding impressions after this change.
(I'm actually thinking about getting their combination kit, with replacement fork springs and a new shock spring. Not happening yet, but maybe later this year.)
Thanks!
Ron
