| There is no disputing the
advantage of increasing the spring rate in a vehicle to improve vehicle
stability and load carrying capacity, however, in many vehicles we are
often confronted with three major considerations:
 Ride
Comfort
Shock
Absorber Control
Spring
Entrapment
RIDE COMFORT is
always a consideration. The spring rate must increase enough to give
improvement without causing undue harshness.
SHOCK ABSORBER CONTROL
- The shock absorber obviously plays a vital role in controlling a
vehicle's stability. Excessive spring rate can often find shock
absorbers struggling to control the vehicle (lack of rebound control).
SPRING ENTRAPMENT
- When an increase in spring rate and decrease in vehicle ride height is
required, spring entrapment can become a problem. Previously, the only
solution being a compromise of minimal increse in spring rate and/or
minimal decrease in vehicle ride height giving unsatisfactory results
(suspension bottoming or not low enough).

PERFORMANCE PROGRESSIVE RATE COIL SPRINGS
Progressive rate springs
are the ultimate in spring design. The principle is simple. The spring
rate increases when you need it (cornering, load carrying etc.) and
decreases it when you don't. The science being over what suspension
travel and to what degree the spring rate will increase. This varies
greatly between vehicles. Referring to the above 3 conditions with Kings
Performance Progressive Rate Springs a substantial spring rate increase
is achieved with minimal loss of ride comfort as the spring rate
increases and decreases where necessary. As the spring de-rates (the
spring rate decreases) the shock absorber no longer struggles for
rebound control and gives improved vehicle stability.
With Kings Performance
Progressive Rate Coil Springs, spring entrapment problems are now often
solved with substantial spring rate increases and ride height decreases
available.
