Progressive spring, it's designed to be compliant over bumps but not bottom out under high load because racecar.
Beats me why they don't seem to care about what happens when spring fails, because it's not an unusual occurrence. I guess nobody cares until someone important dies (or lots of plebs).
I came out one morning to find my C3 had snapped both front springs overnight. On querying this with Citroen, they admitted that among the 65 VOSA/DVSA issues for that model, "In the exceptional event of a spring breaking there could be a risk of the spring making contact with the vehicle tyre. Remedial Action: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and fit a suspension cup to each side of the front suspension."
Which to be fair, they then did, and replaced the springs even though it was out of warranty. Except it wasn't "exceptional", it continued to snap a spring every couple of years until I finally, blessedly, got shot of it. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.
