Dale - I have Global West rear leafs, not sure how they compare to the new generation of part numbers. I just emailed them my part number (31-245-1) and asked them to translate my spring rate to their new part #'s. They're relatively stiff, I'd guess they're L2's.
I've been considering the Cat5 bearing/bushing because of this marketing statement:

2.The spherical bearing and bushing combination do not allow the leaf springs to move laterally. Standard rubber and polyurethane bushings do,therefore using a CAT-5 system eliminates the use of a panhard rod or any other lateral-locating device.

With my transverse muffler a panhard rod or Watts Link isn't an option.
You're more than welcome to drive my car if the springs end up being what you're considering.
