[QUOTE="RaYzerman19, post: 1315023, member: 18388"] I was wrong on my ES spring rate, it is 2.04. I would say judging by the sag measurements we took last year on an ES, that it would mean 1.02 each. In my perhaps twisted view, once you increase the preload on the progressive spring, you have primarily compressed the weaker part of the spring. I'd think it would compress first, or at least the most, as the higher rate part has a higher resistance to compressing by definition. On a straight rate spring, the rate doesn't change. With either type, there is more weight required to compress as distance compressed increases, which in effect is increasing resistance to sag. [/QUOTE]
