just my opinion but, progressive springs are kind lame. most racers of any kind use full rate springs. on a progressive rate spring you will not be able to predict what the car will do. it will always be different no matter how "used" to your car you are.
True the progressive springs are a bit "sloppier" than linear rated springs, but this car is my daily driver, and I need it to be comfortable on the long trips over the pass. A better alternative might be linear springs w/ helper springs like the Tein RA's but those damn things cost too much.
