Default Linear springs

I'm interested in fitting some linear lowering springs to the S, but it's not easy finding out which are linear or progressive.

It's normally quite easy to tell visually, but have been caught out with a couple of times.

Looking for a 30mm drop max, and it's a Euro 2006 car.

Cheers all,

Roger

Cheers. It's surprisingly difficult to track down linear springs. I saw Swift mentioned after doing a search, but they don't appear to be available in the UK meaning high postage and import tax costs.

Eibach and swift make custom springs. If you know what you're looking for, I'm sure they can provide it. Also take a look at Ground Control. They provide straight rate springs with their adjustable perches.

why to insist on linear?
progressive should be better...

"better" is relative.

progressive is better for crusing and random spirited driving...

but linear is definitely better for track days.

i guess for track prep one would need a bit more than just springs swap....
