Linear springs, non-coilovers

pokeybritches · 08-21-2015, 03:01 PM

I would like to move from the stock progressive springs to linear springs with a mild drop. Do these exist without having to move to coilovers? I vaguely remember Dinan offering linear lowering springs, but they aren't made any more.

I'd prefer 450/550 or 500/600 rates.

Is it over simplifying it to say as long as the spring is the correct diameter to fit the upper and lower perch and the overall height at static gives the desired drop then a Swift or QA1 etc. linear spring will work?
