Progressive 5th coil spring????

[racinground]

Looking for some thoughts about running a progressive 5th coil spring. Are they the next best thing or nothing their?

we found they were very good if you were out in front or able to run the same predicable line like in qualifying. however. i did not like the feeling when you were changing from high to low line or when throttle was on/off while in traffic. was never sure how it was going to react. i will say that when you had it hooked up with the progressive spring it is way better than a standard rate. but good luck getting hooked up and keeping it hooked up.

Once we found the range to work in it was great. One or two turns completely changed the cars drive. DO NOT over adjust once you found where it worked. I never thought it was a problem in traffic.

i had a little luck with one on a super dry slick track with a lot of rebound in the shock, i like to try new things, but i wound up back on conventional springs and just change spring according to track conditions, which i rarely do now,cant afford to travel much anymore.

I like mine! I think I am one of the few. I also don't preload. I just take up slack and go.

Progress is always good & the best thing about progressive springs is the best thing is always next!
