the spring rates
linear = the rate is the same all the way through ( good for track, less forgiving on the road)
progressive = the rate changes depending on how much force is applied. it will have a range... lets say from 300-500. 300 is comfy for small bumps in the road, but when you push the car and the spring compresses more, it will be stiffer.
i probably didnt explain that right, but oh well
fyi H&R ultras are progressive front ( for comfort) and linear rears.

The Vogtland's have progressive rate springs also. Just a higher rate than the Stasis SS's.
The Vogtland shocks are not adjustable like the Stasis, but you do have to remove the Stasis to adjust them. To me that just means that once the Stasis are installed, they might as well not be adjustable either.

not sure. the stasis does have adjustab le shocks... im not sure about the vogtlands
honestly i would buy the stasis tracksports. they are more money, but a much better product.
im not a suspension expert though so i cant give you a difinitive answer regarding those 2. all i know is i wanted a stiffer rear than the front, thats why i got the ultras.
