who makes a non progressive rate lowering spring

i would like some eibachs but all they make for our cars is a progressive rate spring. from what i have read is that when taking hard corners with a progressive rate spring the car feels sloppy half way through untill the spring rate picks up. thats makes the car very unpredictable in the corners. so who makes a linear spring for our cars?

you are talking about a specific rate spring, which is supposed to ride harsher. I am looking at the sportline or pro kit. are both of them progressive? i know the sportline kit is low, but my friend has a set on his 95Z and the thing looks badass. i'm chucking the dual exhaust for single and lowered. I'll be happier that way.......i think.....
