The Progressive's are an advancement in technology, remember.  The OEM springs were state-of-the-art in their day (maybe?), but we've progressed tremendously since then.  Back in the 80's, the newest oil standard was around "SF", today, we are up to "SL", or "SN", and the differences between "SF" oils (will void a warranty on a new car...), and "SL" oils, are considerable!  Cheers!
