All right focus lovers!
Mk3 spring question, eibach are progressive rate springs from what I remember.

But are the steeda, or ford racing springs progressive rate? Or single rate springs?

I used to have mopar hi-rates in my neon back in the day, they were single rate autocross style springs. Stiff as hell, but I loved them to death!

Steeda and ford racing also use progressive which many other do also. It is hard to find linear springs these days due to comfort levels outside of coilovers

Yea, I was afraid of that.
Guess I'm saving for some decent coilovers for next year.

If I find a set of used springs for cheap I'll throw them in till I get the coil overs
