That's more likely to be the damper setting than the springs.

I think you need more comprehensive information than you can get by asking
questions one at a time.
The most accessible books on the subject of suspension tuning are Carroll
Smith's :
Prepare to Win ISBN 0850458048
Tune to Win ISBN 0850458080
Engineer to Win ISBN 0850456282
They cost a total of GBP40.85 in the UK, and may be cheaper in the USA. You'll
learn a lot more than just suspension too.
