I was thinking of buying a set of full coilovers like skunk2 proC and replacing the spring with progressive spring for more comfortable daily driving while still having adjustable dampening and height separate along with preload


are there any full coilovers that already have progressive spring and preload/dampening/height like proC?
that are not stupid expensive?

There are plenty of linear spring coilovers that are comfortable. I don't think its a good idea to use a progressive spring on Skunk2 PRO-C's because they're valved agressively...and not for true progressive springs.

Progressive spring setups are usually just dead coils with a main spring. The dead coils keep the spring from becoming free at full extension. That doesn't have anything to do with ride comfort.

What kind of car is this for?

Linear vs Progressive Rate Suspension Springs / Motorsports Performance Handbook

you are thinking about different things

progressive spring increases stiffness as it compresses
which is what im looking for with a full coilover setup
I don't want linear spring for my daily
I want more comfort but also the ability to adjust height separate from preload
and ability to set dampening that's why I was gonn ause skunk2 or some similar shocks
I was doing some more research and seems like I can get an adapter to fit the lowering springs onto the full coilover body.
the only other otion I found was koni yellow that have 2 height settings but thats my last resort if I cant find a solution

Well...good luck on the search!

The dead coil that B serious is talking about can be one of two things:

1.) A compound spring setup, in which case he would be correct, or
2.) A helper spring, which is mainly used to prevent clunking or misalignment of the spring when the suspension arm reaches full travel and the spring is floating between the bottom perch and the top hat.

If you want a progressive spring on a coilover, you may be able to get Bilstein PS-something-or-others. I know they're more expensive, but I am pretty sure Bilstein sells a progressive setup.

Pretty sure KW sells a progressive setup last I checked as well.

Worst case scenario, get a street coilover or a koni yellow with GC sleeves and make a compound spring setup. Pretty sure Hyperco sells the little circle things that the springs can rest on when you are spacing them out.

He wants a FULL BODY adjustable coilover with progressive springs. I'm assuming he feels that this will give him optimal ride comfort while going low. Because for some reason...you MUST have progressive springs for comfort.

There's a lot of reasons why that's a bad idea. But hey...who has time to listen to advice?! :D

There are a lot of spring height adjustable progressive spring coilovers. PSS9's don't always use progressive springs...and I have no clue what car OP is asking about. I asked. But that question was glazed over.
