Tom, he is trying to say that ..but that is not correct.
Given the same load.. the 100 lbs... spread between either 10 coils or 9...
the deflection per coil is the same.. but with 9 as the load is increased it will encounter the limits of its ability to compress.. thus feeling stiffer... and since we are assuming the load of the car in question remains the same.... each coil still represents a deflection of one inch per 100 lb load .. so the short one is not stiffer.. only shorter and has less travel to offer.
( the load is increased in corners for instance ...and less roll will feel like stiffer.. but will just be less travel available.)
