Most missed the point..............and that is, there is NOTHING special about SS springs that you can't do yourself. Need more rate or a stiffer segment? Add some leafs or half leafs. Like the short front segment? Use A-body springs. Any spring pack can be made to work just as well as any store bought SS spring pack. Spring steel is spring steel. Only two things come into play. The arch on the spring and the number of leafs or half leafs.
Been many a spring pack that wasn't a thing wrong with, thrown out behind a shop, because someone was told they needed the magic SS spring to make their car work. When all they probably needed was some clamps and maybe a leaf added
For some of us, it is the old money vs. time. It's easy to have a set delivered to your doorstep and throw them on vs. scrounging the salvage yard and spending a day rolling your own. Especially back when they were priced relatively cheap!
Yes, it was Just easier to replace your old worn out springs with the Stiffer SS springs, Then to tear them apart, go to the junkyard , tear another set apart so you can ad some extra leaves to a spring that has wear on it anyway.
Waay easer to just get a new set of the SS springs and bolt them on. For the price, it was a no brainer. Plus It was also nice to see New shiny springs mounted on the back.
