No need for 60 at all.. Try 40/40 - with stock springs.. Brown are really hard I think..
Really hard shocks only makes sense if it's for like onroad, and it's massively hot outside..
Also, it really depends what you want to do.. For the street, maybe 45 even.. Jumping.. - a bit less.. A track, less again.. "Bottoming out" on the street might mean it would soak up bumps on a track better.. All about what you want to do with it.. 35 or 40 IMO are generally good all-round weights..
Try 40 all around, with 1-2cm preload on the springs, with silver springs or whatever the original ones are..
