Rear shock spring length

I have a 1996 cannondale super v 4000 dh, currently running an air oil shock. I want to switch to a coil shock. I have a replacement 200x52 shock for it, but no coil. According to the Fox service website I need a 1050 pound spring!
I have come across a 1050x1.6, 950x1.6 and a 950x2.21 spring to suit.
Will any of these work? Or will the bind or be too long?
 
On the air shock you have the 52 mm (2.05Inches) refer to the stroke of the shock. Assuming you have a coil shock with the same stroke, which is important to maintain the correct travel of the bike you need a spring that can compress 52mm or 2.05inches before it is fully compressed on itself. I think you'd need the 950x2.1
