What makes you think they are progressive? I don't think I've ever actually seen a load v. displacement graph for the "stock springs". (And by the way, there are at least three different versions of "stock springs" -- 00-01, 02-03, 04+.)

The stock springs ('04-05) have consistent pitch, gauge, and coil diameter, so I doubt that they are progressive.

Ditto for the 02-03 springs.

No... he's saying they're NOT progressive. Are you familiar with what progressive and linear are?

Progressive rate springs are made more for comfort, and get stiffer as they coil in-turn.
