Linear springs have the same spring rate throughout the compression, Progressive springs have two rates usually a "softer" rate at first the once that travel has been used up it goes to a much firmer rate.
Spring rate is the amount of force needed to compress the spring a certain distance, I think it's usually referred to as "k".

RSR is the best overall spring we have used (and we have used em all at this point) for the Z..without question
as for linear vs progessive...search is your friend
Linear springs maintain a constant rate through the length of the spring, progessive springs get "progressively" stiffer as the spring is compressed - there are plusses and minusses to both, and neither is better nor worse than another.

Linear - Pro's - more predictable handling at the limit
Cons - can be uncomfortable over bumps (very subjective and depends on tires/wheels, tire pressure, alignment)
Progressive - Pro's - tend to be more comfortable over the bumps
Cons - can be twitchy at the limit - not as surefooted
The RSR (non Ti's) are overall, the best spring we have used to date on these cars.
