Default lowering spring help...

Im online trying to buy some new lowering springs. Can someone tell me the differance between progressive and non progressive spring. Is there a ride or handling diff at all? Any help would be great thanks...

I have steeda and they were the progressive. It took forever (or so it seemed) for them to finally settle, but i'm happy with the ride. I can't speak for the others.

progressive is a changing spring rate with a great spring travel, ie, the spring force is increased as you compress it more. non progressive is a constant spring rate, no matter how far you compress it or decompress it
