progressive meaning close coils at one end than far appart at the other end.

Whats the point in having the top coils if they all act as one? May as well be a solid peice of tubing until halfway down! lol
It was stood up for about 6 months just got it back on the road and now when i go over bumps or corner sharply they rub really badly!!!

I can understand that if there was a smaller gap between the top 4 coils and a larger gap between the bottom ones, but there is NO gap at all between the top 4 they sit touching as one!! So only my bottom few coils are actualy doing anything!! It cant be right surely??!!
if you go over a hump in the road and the car lifts up then it will stretch the top coils out so when it comes back down it will come down smoother rather than coming down onto a stiff spring causing pogo effect.
my front end feels bit unstable at high speeds coz the springs are just hard all the way through
