i dont think you can get a linear rate lowering spring, lowering springs are progressive rate, it is soft at the beginning of the compression to lower the car then it gets stiffer to compensate with the stock shocks travel. with that said, the spring rate of a progressive spring is attained at the maximum compression
coilover is linear rate because you always adjust ride height with the sleeve. spring rate is constant from full rebound to full compression.
but yeah a 10-kg progressive spring is good for stock shocks but might be bumpy.

out of convenience, i'm not going to sell the pro-kit to get other springs. if i sell it, i'll really just be inclined to keep the money, so it's springs + maybe koni shock upgrade in the near future, or no springs at all.
WADDUP Rich!!
