VBandP gets my vote? And they have a sale right now. I think it ends tomorrow. It all depends on your plans for the vehicle.

Default Rear spring

Be sure to do some reading and look at some pics. There are a lot of mixed feelings on the glass rr springs. Ride height is the issue, and the need for the long bolts to adjus the rear end down. I just installed one on my 69 this winter. I hear it will settle some if it does not I am going back to the original.
