I have tried them on carpet, but I prefer the linear springs myself. I think its because I prefer the spring to compress all the way in a linear? feel. The progressive springs have a sort of locked? feel to them on the last part of the compression. I have had decent results with them though, but just seem to end up back with the linear. I think they may not be a bad spring to try in a situation where you are trying to keep the nose of the car off the track, but the harder spring will probably effect the steering as well. Something that would have to be tuned for.

I do like the fact that they sort of fall between the Xray linear springs, but wouldn't mind if the SMJ came a little lighter than whats out there.
