how does the linear/progressive play into the equation?
From how I understand it. Progressive is less stiff on the small inconsistencies in the road, (so you get OEM like ride) but once you start to push the car, it stiffens up. (thats why the spring is not evenly coiled) Where Linear is stiff all around and the small inconsistencies in the road will be felt more. (spring will be evenly coiled)
