Saleen, especially back in Fox days, was road racing derived, I would have to think they are more appropriate for raod racing conditions. I dont know anything about the BBK's though. just my .02, i could be way off

I was always under the impression that specific rate was better for road racing and progressive were nice for the street because they acted a little softer the specific rate to start with then got stiff in heavy cornering. I would stick with the specific rate coils.
