does spring order in my super T matter?

my '04 super t developed some nasty deflection and slight leaking in one leg. I had it setup pretty stuff, pretty much how I wanted it, maybe just a little too stiff. I had it sent back to 'zoke and it came back feeling really soft. I thought maybe they put the stock springs back in. Nope, i check and it's still got the red and yellow ones that I had in there. One explanation they provided is that maybe I had the springs in the wrong order before and that's what made it feel stiffer. Has anyone else ever heard of this before? There's 2 springs in each leg. I haven't tried reversing them yet but I will probably give that a shot. The other thing they said to do was to try adding some oil. I tried that and it didn't make it feel any stiffer, it just eventually got to the point where I was losing travel and I have to remove some oil now.

anyone know what weight oil they use in their forks. it had 7wt when I sent it to them. if they used 5 would I be noticing a significant difference. It feels much softer now, and I bottomed it out just messing around on a 2 foot drop.
