KW HAS RIDE QUALITY.less Harsh than OEM CP springs?

Just fitted Version2 KW HAS on my M4 Competition,paired with 10mm spacers front and rear.
I have the impression the suspension is less harsh and a tad softer.
Anyone has the same feeling?
Rear spring rate is according to KW same as the comp pack, while front uses a progressive spring Vs the linear on the stock comp car, so hard to judge.
Just my Impression?

Progressive vs linear rate is probably the reason -softer at initial compression.

Wonder why both KW and Mperf use progressive front springs.
If I can't find a linear spring for the front I will go back to stock.

For the exact reason you mentioned - "less harsh" - translates to better ride, especially when using OEM shocks. KW club sports are linear. KW Variants are progressive.
