Default Rear Spring Replacement

I have a 77 & am ready to replace the rear springs. I don't drive much, so I'm staying with leaf rather than composite. However, I don't know whether to stick w/stock leaf spring, or go to the HD. I think the original is the stock spring. Any suggestions?

Thanks

A spring with a tighter spring rate will give you much better handling..

I have replacement steel springs for $200. HD 2-1/4 7 leaf 360lb

Personally i think you would like the fiberglass spring better. Ask a friend w/a vette for a test drive and you'll see the difference
