sup yall! What does it mean when springs are non-progressive? thanx

 

it means the ride is harsh like a ****. i think intraxs are n/p. no kind of performance

 

I think that progressive rate springs are harder the compress the further down they go, for performance. The more they compress the more they push back. Non-progressive do not, they are the same firmness throughout.

 

Progressive means the spring rate is not linear throughout the whole spring. For instance, the top of the spring may be softer than the bottom or middle. It allows the spring to have multiple abilities. One might design a progressive spring so it's soft when the springs weight is even (driving in a straight line), but when the spring leans it hits a stiffer part of the spring giving better performance without comprimising the ride quality on the straight-aways.

Non-progressive means it's the same stiffness on every aspect of the spring.

 

Progressive offers the best of both worlds, right?
So why is it I think I read on here that progressive was NOT recommended??

Or am I making this all up?

 

it sounds to me that it's really good, but hmm.....which springs out there are progressive? is eibach progressive? because they are known having the "harsh" ride? u see.. i am getting a set of sprints hehe...and people say it's not progressive..and i was like 0_o what does that mean? hehe.. i guess i'll have a bad time going through the bumps eh?
