The idea is that they would be suited for both track and street use since they start off soft and then get stiff under heavier force. That would be the theoretical pro. The con is that while they are suited for two purposes, it comes at the cost of performance. At the track or under heavy turning they require more force/time to fully compress/stiffen and this will add some body roll as a result. Linear on the other hand compress evenly and while this may be harsher for daily use the performance benefits are better. It does one thing well and one thing poorly vs having the kind of decent all around ability progressive springs would have. In summation, linear are more performance oriented, and progressive would be more comfort oriented. That's how i understand it. Feel free to correct me. |

^ this is true.
I would describe linear as being more predictable as well. you know exactly how the suspension is going to react, because it does the same way during all situations, assuming everything else is equal. Linear is less supple, more predictable. Progressive is more comfort and compromise. It's all about what you want out of the car. |
