About to order a set of Super Stocks for the Bee. Need some recommendations.
Would it be better to get the 3600 or 3800 pound springs? I'm guessing it will be closer to 3800 lbs, but maybe the lighter ones would give me a reason to lighten!?
Also, I'm aware of the difference between the right and left spring. Any advantage to running two right springs other than making the car sit level(I know I can adjust the torsion bars to level it, but 6 leaves to 8 leaves...)?
Thanks in advance
FYI, 4-speed street car that will see weekly track duty.

Looking for the original block for my Bee. The last 4 are 7449

Go with the correct ones and forget the cosmetics. If the car is right, it won't sit level....they are designed with different leaves on the right and left for a reason.
SS springs work great....been using them for 40 years, we do mess with clamps and stuff like that to tune them. But, forget the idea of using two right ones for cosmetic purposes.

I always make my own bushings out of aluminum front & back,works better than the rubber bushings an the holes are centered!

One, get your car weighed and stop goofing.
Two, don't ever buy another set of SS springs, they are junk. Go right to Calvert racing and get a set of split Mono's...Those will be better than anything you get that states its an SS spring..Add Caltrac's when you can.
Then re-adjust your front torsion bars because they will be all out of whack making up for the SS springs you just took off.
