Progressives change spring rate as they compress, the specific stay the same. IIRC

RE: Springs

Specific and Linear Rate springs are the same thing, they both will compress at the same rate throughout the travel of the compression or rebound, Progressive Rate springs give more resistance as the spring is compressed (non-linear or exponential) the spring rate is dependant on the compression distance...
