I don't see why not but the damping is set up to work well with linear springs.

+ 1, it can be done but they are designed to work with linear springs and oil set for the riders weight.

As above, Race Tech recommend using linear springs set to the riders weight with appropriate weight oil. In my case at 11 stone for hard track use it was 0.80kg/mm springs with 20 weight oil. As a set of springs and oil can be had quite cheaply it's wise to go with what they suggest and sell the progressives on.

As I suspected. Bought a set of springs from one guy on here and the emulators from another before I even thought about it. Luckily the chap who will be selling me the springs also has a set of linear 0.85 springs too!
