check the santacruz website under VPFree - tech info - set up guide. all shocks and set up information is located here. According to the site, you need a 400 or 450 spring.

That website is wonky. I am 190 and run a 550 lb spring on my VP-free. I( would not want to go anything less. Check out:

I'm about 170 and have a 400 spring its alright for fast flowy stuff, but for anything big its too soft, so i'v ordered a 450 and am going to try that out.
