I'm personally a fan of progressive-rate springs. If it's good enough for a stock C6 vette it's good enough for me. Heck, the older Integra Type R used progressive, so I don't think progressive is "bad." A linear spring is beneficial in that it's more predictable under quick weight transfer. On a progressive spring, if the switchover from the soft rate to spring rate is abrupt, it can be jarring, leading to slower laps. Since this is my daily driver I value ride quality, hence I prefer progressive. I have Eibach pro's sitting in my closet, planning on putting em on in a month or two.
