Hyperco leaf springs

Any comments on Hyperco leaf springs, good and bad please. I am about to lower my car off the rotisserre and am going to replace my mono leaf on my 67 Camaro.

Good rate... good ride... but, flimsy in lateral.

There ya go.

Those work great on the street without any sort of lateral restraint (panhard, watts, etc). Wonderful ride and very quiet.

Any sort of autocross or track usage will require a watts or panhard.

I've seen one pair broken due to hard driving. This wasn't an extreme case of hard driving, but it didn't take much. They where swapped out for a set of GW L3-CAT5s which gave the owner the stance and ride he wanted. A bit stiffer but worth the trade off from what he said.
