I've got the Touratech (Wirth) front springs on my PD with an Ohlins rear shock. They work well especially with a full touring load.

Be warned though that the instructions for the Wirth springs come only in German. There's nothing complicated about the installation, but I was not able to figure out the length of the spacer from the instructions. I cut the spacer so that the length of the spring and spacer was the same as the length of the stock spring and spacer. If you order the Wirth springs from CycoActive, ask them if they've got an English translation of the instructions.
