The springs are quite stiff, they won't help much on a big bump or a pot hole, but seem to help on vibration.

I just went to Brooks site to get a link to post, but it appears that the Conquest is out of production again. Here is a good description.
VeloBase.com - Component: Brooks Conquest

It was taken out of production roughly a decade ago, then brought back several years later, but appears to be gone again.
