WHAT is a Varible (Progressive) Rate Coil?
Variblee rate springs defelct at different amounts per inch. An example would be: 200 lbs. = 1 inch deflection, 600 lbs. = 2 inch deflection, 1000 lbs. = 3 inch deflection, and so on. Varible coils have a soft initial spring rate and a much firmer spring rate to handle more weight, decrease sway, and improve handling.
