Normally i round it up to the nearest spring. so i would say you need a 250lbs spring

i have a 350 spring on mine mate and im 9st 10, feels about right, but it also makes my shock very easy to bottom with mine been a single pivot, and with yours being the same id recommend a slightly heavier one somthing like a 400.
