So half Suzuki and half EBC?

Check the length. If you feel the need to replace, OEM Suzuki springs ONLY.
Those who build up their engines for more power find that stock springs are surprisingly adequate until you start getting ridiculous with the power increase. Certainly good enough for an 850. And, don't get the impression that I'm dissing the 850, we have a couple of them around here.

Yep, slap in some new stock springs and you'll be golden.
The spring length spec in the manual is not very useful or based in reality.
Order up a new stock cable and lever while you're at it, and your clutch will be like buttuh. Avoid the aftermarket garbage.
Even an old cable that seems to work OK is not going to be as smooth and silky as a new one from Suzuki. And the little pivot hole in the lever wears egg-shaped over time; I always replace the lever and cable as a set. Both are surprisingly cheap from Suzuki.
