RX3 is right…it all depends on waht u want…if u can handle the bumps the Mopar Linears will be better…the rates listed for the progressive are the rates for maximum compression which depending on ur setup u may not even reach…Linear rates also IMO give u a better feel and more predictability on how the car will react…I qwould go mopars…or other known brand linear rate springs…if they are for teh neon its a pretty light car u dont need crazy rates…but it also depends on how low u go…the lower u got the stiffer u want too… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/how-does-springrate-impact-handling/29848)._
