Which springs excluding coil overs have progressive spring rates for the XB???? I only see one on the spring rate charts.....is that accurate?
Thanks for your help in advance....

 

The Eibachs are progressive and I believe the TRDs are also progressive (as they are made by Eibach to TRD specs). And there are the KG/mm springs that are also progressive.

 

By the way, progressive (or dual rate) springs are not necessarily an indication of quality. Progressive springs are more a necessity when lowering a stock suspenion (to keep the springs from falling out). The more you lower or the higher the resting spring rate, the more progressive springs are required. If a lowering spring is linear, it is probably and indication that it does not lower that much and/or the ride is pretty soft/comfortable. As long as you use a reputable spring manufacturer, you should be fine with either linear or progressive.

There is a bit of marketing in the word "progressive".

 

I am aware.. I want a compliant suspension....

 

Then you should look for more linear, less progressive......

 

ok... excpet when I drive it hard..I shoulda stated that...oops

 

more opinions??

 

dude, your 99 years old! your gonna die soon anyways, so who cares about springs. ;)

 

I had a set of Eibach Pro-Kit (which is advertised as progressive springs) on my xA for 6 months. Although I loved the handling and stiffy feel, the ride was harsh to me as a daily commuter in NY/NJ area.

gonna go out with a bang...

 

man I do not miss those roads..I am from that area

 

I hear ya. Wish I can move out of NY and start a new life :-)

Anyway, TRD/Eibach spring + TRD struts/shocks will definitely give u a compliant suspension...

I still have the Eibach Pro-Kit spring set sleeping in my basement. Let me know if u r interested.

btw the chart is compiled information from the manufacturer of listed springs. Unless they posted incorrect info (or when I called them), it should be accurate.
