Help, my EC300 tried to kill me!

Yep. New springs front and rear would be your biggest bang for your money.

Well, I think Ill just pay the money and get it set up properly, although, I dont fell the rear has too much sag, it seems to work perfectly and never bottoms out! I cranked the clickers in yesterday and the difference was incredible but I will decide what to do next after I get her out on the trail again this weekend Thanks again for all your help and advice!

Since you bought it used maybe the previous owner changed the springs. The rear spring will usually have the rate inked on it somewhere depending on the maker. I weigh close to what you do and I went with a 5.6 rear and 4.6 front springs. You can crank down a lighter spring to make it stiff but the progression will never be aligned with your weight.(if that makes since) When it's right it's like a magic carpet and by far the best money you'll spend on a bike.
