Stacking two racing coil springs creates a combined spring rate that is lower than the rate of either spring used individually. In this video, Landrum demonstrates the effect using a scale and load cell, then explains how to calculate the resulting spring rate when two springs are used together.
This Spring Compressor makes it easy to install our 18” Front Drag Racing Coil Springs. Standard spring compressors just aren’t long enough to properly compress 18” springs, but our spring compressor is. The spring compressor is inserted through the top shock absorber opening and a long length threaded rod allows the compressor fingers to reach down to the bottom of the spring. A position adjustable bearing located toward the top of the rod seats on the top of the shock opening so the threaded rod turns freely when the spring compressor is tensioned or loosened.

In this video, we demonstrate how stacking two racing springs affects the combined spring rate. Using a scale and load cell, we show why two springs of the same rate produce a lower combined rate and explain the equation used to calculate stacked spring rate.
Progressive coil springs have a variable spring rate that increases as the springs compress, providing a softer initial response and progressively greater resistance as suspension load and travel increase.
Progressive coil springs use varying coil spacing to control how the spring responds throughout its travel. As the spring compresses, the closely spaced coils contact each other and become inactive, a process known as coil bind. With fewer active coils carrying the load, the spring rate increases progressively through compression.
Progressive coil springs can improve traction, weight transfer, suspension control, and handling by providing different spring characteristics throughout suspension travel. Thereby improving performance in areas such as corner entry stability, mid-corner control, forward bite, and corner-exit traction.
We worked closely with racers to develop Landrum Progressive Coil Springs, ensuring they deliver the performance, durability, and long-term consistency you need.
While constant rate coil springs are wound to have equal spacing between the coils, coil spacing of progressive springs varies with narrow spacing at one end of the spring, and wider spacing at the other.
Landrum Progressive Coil Springs are produced from the highest-quality, US-made High Tensile Chrome Silicon Alloy Steel, providing superior strength, reliability, and consistent performance without losing free height, even after repeated coil bind.
Produced using cutting-edge design and manufacturing technology to deliver proven durability and the most consistent spring rates in the industry.
Every spring includes a dyno sheet showing it meets Landrum’s strict ±2% rate specification.
Landrum Progressive Coil Springs are available in a 5-inch OD, 13-inch length, with four progressive spring rate options.
Diameter: 5” OD
Length: 13”
Rates:
A rate such as 125–300 lb./in. indicates the spring operates through a range of spring rates. It begins at a lower rate and progresses toward a higher rate as the spring is compressed.
Landrum Progressive Coil Springs are engineered to withstand repeated compression to coil bind without losing free height or performance. Their High Tensile Chrome Silicon Alloy Steel and manufacturing processes help the springs resist permanent deformation.
A ±2% rate specification means the tested spring rate is held within 2% of its specified rate. Landrum tests its springs and provides a dyno sheet documenting spring performance.
The dyno sheet provides measured performance data for the individual spring, allowing racers to verify its characteristics rather than relying only on a theoretical spring rate. Landrum’s technical documentation says its dyno sheets provide load data throughout spring displacement.
