Right now I'm running GW Cat 5 springs but I'm thinking of going with either DSE's Quadra-Link or Alstons G Bar or just leave it as is?
Thanks for the help!
Sorry I ignored this post above and didn't address it before.

The Cat 5 spring has a rate of 240 lbs/inch and has metal spherical bearings on each end, most other tuner springs are 175 and come with rubber front eye bushings. Any of those leaf springs will ride better than the Cat5. On my wife's 73 Camaro we removed Hotchkis leafs and installed the Cat5. Much rougher ride. tires make a big difference in ride quality too. With our race tires the car rode terrible on the Cat5's, with street rubber it was tolerable, still stiff but not as harsh.
