All I'm going to say is that both of my cars have them and both will hook in a car wash.

I want someone to "splain" to me the supposed magic of these springs........LOL!!! What do they do that other springs don't? Are they made of "magic" spring steel and others are just regular spring steel? Because when anybody asks about rear springs........that's all we hear is he needs Super Stock springs. I just want to know why. And because they worked for so and so is not an answer. Hmmmm. Where were you in the 60's. Thought you knew it all?? They worked for me!

This is hilarious, I cant believe the amount of guys explaining leaf springs to Monte... LMFAO I have only ever bought 1 set of SS springs, which are currently on my Plymouth. I bought them years ago when they were a little more affordable. Any leaf spring car I build in the future will have Caltracs or something similar.

I don't think Monte said that SS springs didn't work.
He asked what was the magic in them that made them work better than stock springs.
The answer is clear. They made the front segments stiffer,by adding more springs, and/or thicker material.

Y 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!
