Progressive springs; which way round?

Ok, got my new springs, which are 40 mm longer than the standard springs that I'm replacing.
Question for those who have the conversion on an RGS; how much should the standard 90 mm spacers be shortened by to maintain the original static sag? The obvious answer would be by 40 mm but just asking for any previous experience.
Thanks in advance.
 
I wonder if you might want slightly less than the usual 40mm of dynamic sag (i.e. with you sat on it) given the plushy part of the spring is going to compress more easily than the rest: might get a bit wallowy if set up as per a std spring: I'd say aim for 25-30mm of dynamic sag and see what it's like: can always chop a bit more out of the spacers later. This is what I plan to do when I eventually get mine anyway... ::) ::)
 
Concur. Have about 30 mm at the moment, looks like I'll have to do a bit of experimenting.
