The Progressive Revolution Embracing Adaptability and Comfort in Suspension Engineering

A linear spring is the more simple of the two types. Its spring rate is uniform through most of the compression range. With a linear 150lb 14″ ... A linear-rate spring is evenly wound from top to bottom so that the force (road surface bumps and potholes, acceleration and braking) ... Linear rate springs are more predictable and the main reason I won't run a progressive rate spring. My theory is that the companies know their ... if there are some coils really close together that collapse as the spring is compressed, that is progressive. if the coils are evenly spaced, it ... If you have to do fast inputs with a progressive spring, the slow part of the spring soaks up the initial motion and allows the tire time to ... The reason progressive springs are used is to stiffen the last part of the forks travel... precisely where it SHOULDN'T get stiffer if handling ... on a linear spring, the spring rate is constant, so to compress the first inch of the spring takes 225, as does the last inch. on a progressive ... Linear rate springs compress in a uniform manner and should be more predictable. I say progressive for street use. Sent from my SPH-L710 using ... Progressive springs are never a good idea. The first half of the spring will be too soft for your weight and the second half will be too harsh ... In this video I explain the differences between linear vs progressive coil springs and what you need to know when buying coilover suspension ...
