Do you mean Progressive or Ohlins, I avoid progressive wound springs which companies like Progressive suspension and WP make as I prefer single rate Springs as supplied by Ohlins.
What you would benifit from depends on what you use the bike for as most come from the factory as a compromise on the suspension. Not only are they mass produced to meet a certain price they also quite have to deal with varying loads, anywhere from a rider of Lisa's weight to somebody like Bradders (Paul get on and try a 8kg/mm rear spring) or maybe rider and passenger with a combined weight in excess of 25 stone.

If you have a single seater that is solely used on the track then its easier to make a decision on what suspension setup to run. If you have a two seater that does everything from touring to the occasional trackday then the standard suspension in good condition could well be the best compromise.
