I recently bought a brand new 2010 Gary Fisher Hoo Koo E Koo. The stock fork is a 100mm Rockshox Recon (Coil).I remember being told it was a Recon SL, but I can't find a specific spec.
Here are the bike specs:

I think this is the service manual:

The fork feels too soft for me, even with the preload tightened all the way. It routinely bottoms out if I'm not careful. My riding style is fairly aggressive trail/all-mountain - no drops bigger than 3-4 feet. I weigh ~ 170 lbs.
Ideally I would buy a new fork, but I don't have the money for it right now, so hopefully someone with more suspension experience could help me out here:
1. Where can I find a replacement spring to buy?
2. What options are available for springs for this fork? Which spring is recommended for my weight/riding style? I think Rockshox has some docs that explain it, but I can't seem to find them.
3. Do I need to replace oil or seals during a spring replacement?
Thanks for any and all suggestions!
