Hmmmm, 10% going straight and 40% when turning into a tight curve.For a car that will see track time a couple times a year and you still want great ride quality but the handling needs when you want to push it, yes.
Here is a reply from David@Steeda on their progressive springs.

Happy to provide additional background info.
Steeda’s progressive lowering springs for the S550 use a dual-rate spring with two linear rates connected by a rate transition range. What does this mean to our customers? In short, it means the springs are more predictable and easier to tune.
Our progressive springs were designed and tuned for a setup consisting of one to two people at 200 lbs each with a full tank of gas in the car. From our experience, a linear spring doesn’t provide as much roll control as a progressive spring. Think of our progressives as a high-tech dual-rate spring.
Spring rates - our progressive springs are 10% stiffer than the PP springs at curb and provide a 40% increase in roll stiffness over the PP springs when you lean into it and the spring compresses.
This sounds doable. I'll have to live with the 0% (stock) for a few before I can go for the additional 10% but this sounds perfect and doable.
