Progressive Coil Springs
What are Progressive Coil Springs?
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.
How do Progressive Coil Springs Work?
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.
What Are the Benefits of Progressive Coil Springs?
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.
- Improved traction: The softer initial portion of the spring can help the tire maintain contact with the track.
- Better weight transfer: Initial spring movement allows weight to transfer more readily during acceleration, braking, and cornering.
- Increased support under load: As the spring compresses, the increasing rate provides additional resistance to suspension movement.
- Better control through travel: The changing rate can provide compliance early in travel while adding support deeper into compression.
- Reduced bottoming: The higher rate later in travel can help prevent excessive suspension compression.
- More tuning flexibility: Racers can use the changing rate to influence handling at different stages of suspension travel rather than relying on one fixed spring rate.
- Improved performance on changing track conditions: The broader operating range can help the chassis remain more adaptable as grip levels and loads change.
We worked closely with racers to develop Landrum Progressive Coil Springs, ensuring they deliver the performance, durability, and long-term consistency you need.
What is the Difference Between Progressive Coil Springs and Constant Rate Coil Springs?
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.
- Constant rate coil springs compress at a linear rate, meaning rate of force needed to compress the spring a certain amount remains the same. For example, a spring with a 300 pound-per-inch linear rate (also known as the rate of deflection) will compress one inch when 300 lbs. of compression force are applied. The spring will compress another inch if an additional 300 lbs. of force is added, and so on.
- With Progressive rate coil springs, the rate of deflection increases as the as the spring is compressed. The spring has a softer rate at the beginning of its range of travel. So, it can cushion small compression forces and shock loads. As compression forces increase the spring progresses to a higher rate to handle larger compression forces.
Built for Strength, Durability, and Consistent Spring Rates
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.

Every spring includes a dyno sheet showing it meets Landrum’s strict ±2% rate specification.
What Progressive Coil Spring Sizes and Rates Are Available?
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:
- 125-300 lb./in.
- 150-350 lb./in.
- 175-400 lb./in.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do the two numbers in a progressive coil spring rate mean?
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.
Can Landrum Progressive Coil Springs be compressed to coil bind?
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.
What does ±2% spring rate tolerance mean?
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.
Why is a dyno sheet included with each Landrum spring?
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.

Designed for Use with our 18″ Front Drag Racing Coil Springs.
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.
