Default Front Fork Springs?

What have y'all replaced your stock front suspension with? I recently replaced the rear shocks with Works Performance, and they have a set of triple rate front springs they suggested. Any suggestions?

Using Progressive front springs (not lowered) with Ohlins on back. The bike is way more stable and fun. I know there is still room for improvement, but I'm not gonna make any changes unless I really feel I need more.

Works triple rate spring kit + Ricor intimidators 15W = way more stable than stock.

I was checking out Patriot Suspensions. www.patriotsuspension.com Their "Genesis" fork springs look kind of interesting and they're not much more than a set of Progressive fork springs.

How difficult was the Works spring install? Is it as simple as remove those two big nuts and yank out the old springs, or does the wheel and axle have to come off the bike?
