I found this good read with pictures on replacing your fork springs

shame we couldn't add it to Alpha's awsome FAQ

Pablo already has a "Lazy Man's Install" for progressive springs here: http://pantablo500.tripod.com/id2.html

The write up I did is a more comprehensive change including your fork oil in order to get the correct damping rate too.
