If you had this secondary collar, than ufine tuning the point at which your primary spring kicks in would be very simple and easy to do. In this case you would want the lower spring to be the heavier of the two- this would yield a soft, compliant initial to midrange spring rate, and a firm rate when approaching full compression. As of yet, no one makes a shock that can effectively accomplish this type of setup. Almost justifying a small cnc machine for my basement.
