355 Rate TRW rear spring
Has anyone installed a TRW spring in a smallblock 68-74 Vette? I am concerned about a harsh ride. If anyone has experience with this spring how does it compare to the stock original leaf spring?

If the 355 is to harsh I will be selling my 330lb spring very shortly. I just got in my wheels and will have to go with a shorter spring. My 330 spring is firm but not to harsh. I will also have to do away with the rear sway bar as this is in the way also. If you are intersted in the spring let me know, I'll make a good deal on it.

I'm running that spring, and on very uneven pavement, it will get squirrelly if you are not careful... On smooth to good pavement, it is very responsive. I'm happy with it, and am planning on running 550 springs up front and bilsteins to supplement it.
