Hey Apolan,

When your springs are a to high spring rate and/or your dampers are set to stiff, the suspension can't react to the uneven road surface fast enough and that results in alot less traction and a lot more scary ride.

Progressive springs 'solve' this by having a low spring rate when the car is 'neutral' and a progressively higher spring rate as the spring gets compressed.

The tradeoff is that the suspension becomes unpredicatable due to the always varying spring rate.

From what I understand, proper linear springs with correct damper settings is preferable over progressive springs for full control of your car even on low quality roads.
Still if the road surface is really bad, going progressive is better.

I think Pawel managed to adjust the setup to his wishes though.

Greetz,
