your reasoning for it being progresive is not sound.
a 700lb linear spring will require 700lbs to compress 1", and 1400lbs to compress 2". its still a linear spring even though it requires more force to for each inch you compress it.
i agree the swaybar is likely progressive but not much. its likely due to the angle of the lever changing as the force is applied, but the direction of the force doesnt. thus as the angle of the lever changes the distance gets shorter between the point of force to point of rotation. a shorter lever requires more force for the same given deflection.
i'm sure RP will chime in and point out my/our errors.
