Why Progressive Springs Make Sense
Not all lowering springs are created equal. These use a progressive spring rate, which means:
- Softer compression during normal driving → better ride comfort
- Stiffer response under load → improved handling and reduced body roll
So you get the best of both worlds:
- Comfortable cruising
- Controlled cornering
Unlike basic linear springs that just make everything stiff all the time.
