Linear, as the name suggests, compresses at the same amount of load for every inch. This makes cornering more predictable as you can load the spring up and feel its load increase proportionately to how hard you corner. Good for smooth surface roads e.g. tracks. Seeing how KL roads are not exactly race tracks, linear springs will be harsher in reality. Progressive (variable load) springs on the other hand compress at different rates of load. This allows for slightly better comfort when going through uneven surfaces and when taking harder corners, the spring will load up THROUGH the softer part to reach the harder part. This however makes it less predictable as it is not increasing proportionately to how hard you take a corner. Nonetheless, it's trying to be best of both worlds, with the added benefit of lowering the ride height.Try look around at those few springs again (H&R, Eibach etc etc.), see whether they're linear or progressive, compare their loads etc. A picture comparing a linear and progressive spring : <a href="http://www.oemplus.com/images/MK6_5K_apr_vwr_coilovers06.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.oemplus.com/images/MK6_5K_apr_vwr_coilovers06.jpg</a></blockquote>
