Actually not true, the forks actually have a damping system that works in a linear range wheareas prog springs work exponentially so not an ideal match in engineering terms. Prog springs are sometimes fitted because the weaker part of the spring has a less harsh compression so feels more comfy. The correct linear spring works at least as well and often better than a prog spring.
The standard springs are dual rate i think.
