Default Steeda Ultralite springs and Tokico D-spec owners chime in

Over the weekend I changed out my Tein H-Tech springs for some Steeda Ultralite springs. I also installed J&M camber plates. The Tein's seemed too soft for me since I switched to 20" wheels a long time ago. Now that I have the Steeda's, the car feels much better; more sure footed. The wheels don't bounce over bumps as much as it did with the softer Tein springs. My car's stance is more raked with the Steeda's then with the Tein's. To the guys who have Ultralite's with Tokico's, what are the settings on your Tokico's? Also, I thought the Ultralites are a linear spring but the springs appear to be progressive. The rear springs have closely spaced coils at one end. Anyone know if these are progressive springs or if Steeda changed them to progressives if they were linear before?

I am running the tokico's 3 turns off the tightest setting all around. I am pretty sure Front progressive / rear linear.

Doesn't linear springs have evenly spaced coils throughout? I could be wrong.
My rear springs are tightly spaced on one end and loosely spaced on the other. Isn't this progressive? *shrugs*

Isn't 7 turns pretty soft? I have mine at 4 turns/front and 5 turns/rear.
