I weight all of 150 and am trying to figure out what springs to order with the BTS. I'm on the east coast so it's rare to have hero snow. Currently I'm riding a pair of LeMans with the front foot locked and the back foot in powder mode and would like a softer flex in the front and stiffer in the rear. I don't have super strong ankles. What springs should I be looking for?

You'll probably want the yellow, then adjust the preload for the desired flex.

Yellow for both sides.
From what was said in a previous thread, stiffer springs might be bad for a softer boot, as the boot itself will deform as you pressure it. If you want one side stiffer, you still have a limited ability to do that by loading the springs. Also, you're a lighter rider

I can't imagine it'd cause any more deformation that riding with the 5-position lean adjuster in the locked mode. I couldn't find that thread to review the context of the statement though.
