I know the difference between progressive springs and linear springs. But what if you have progressive springs in the front and linear in the rear, does that mean it will have comfortable ride as well as good corner capability?

I believe Tein S.Tech are setup like this.. Progressive front and Linear rear.. Just not sure why they would do that..

Any suspension expert that can enlight us?

thanks!

 

the S-Tune suspension is like that...

the initial shock from hitting something with the front wheels will be softer, you dont notice it as much when things hit the rear wheels...

your front end willl slightly slant into the turn putting more pressure and get more surface out of the front tire on the out side of the turn, while keeping the rear solid...

 

so in return, you get better traction when corning?

 

in theory... I would say yes, especially if you have a negitive camber angle... in the turn with the front flexing and pressing the whole tire onto the road as oposed to needing the tires sidewalls to flex... this will help for better cornering out of smaller profile tires on 19's etc...
