Not quite the same weighting as cherry MX springs but here (http://www.originativeco.com/collections/accessories/products/springs) are some Korean springs.

The weight is measured at full compression, instead of half like MX springs.

There's a group buy that's currently running for Gold Plated springs of numerous weights.

They should be linear, as on the chart here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=46449.0).

All those /restricted/ functions are linear. The important part is that stock clears have a steeper curve. If sprit's clear-like springs are like that and not like panda clears, it's awesome.
