Default Fiberglass rear spring??
Guys;
I have a 73 coupe, Looking at possible spring replacement later this summer, any opinions on fiberglass spring verses OEM style steel rear spring?

I also have the monoleaf composites. I like the selection of rates to make a better riding vet. They are more linear,therefore the ride is not as harsh. IMHO!

Mono-leafs are also lighter.
