Product Details
Consistency - As a linear is compressed, the resistance increases per inch equal to that of the rate. For example, if a spring is rated at 300 pounds per inch, for every inch of travel the spring compresses, the resistance increases 300 pounds. Therefore, one-inch of compression will provide 300 pounds of resistance, two-inches 600 pounds, and three-inch 900 pounds. Variable rate springs, however, do not increase in the same fashion. The are generally rated with a lower spring rate on initial, and build to the desired rate. Example: The first one-inch of travel might start out as 250 pounds per inch, the second-inch 560, and the third 900. For a driver who is looking to improve their driving skills, a vehicle must give predictable feed-back each time during cornering and trail braking. A linear spring will do that because the rate is consistent.Global West highly recommends linear rate springs (also known as constant rate) over variable; not that variable rate springs are bad, but linear rate springs provide the best performance for our customers. Here are reasons why we prefer linear rate verses variable
