(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) dont get all emotional aaron.
okay, so my understanding is progressive springs apply an exponential force rather then a linear force. Basically the spring constant changes during load. So when you're in a turn, instead of bottoming out the suspension, you're adding more spring rate. The advantage is the car is smoother and doesnt oscillate when there is no significant load on the suspension, but under load (in a turn) the suspension stiffens up. |
