New leaf spring
Hey guys, it's definitely time that I replace the rear leaf spring in my 72 L-48. Can you guys recommend something that would be a step above the stocker as far as handling goes? I've heard the fiberglass TRW ones from Mid America will over both a smoother ride and sharper handling...also, what lb/inch rating would you guys recommend? I don't mind sacrificing a little ride quality for the sake of performance but I don't want to rattle the car apart on a bumpy road either. Thanks guys
