I suppose that depends on how you intend to use it when finished and whether originality is important, or not.

I was and still am disappointed with the parabolic springs I have on my 72 lightweight
The ride is nothing like the "coil sprung feel" they were suppose to be,in fact both the 2A and the other lightweight ride better and smoother with standard leaf springs.I intend to change back to leaf springs this summer seeing as I have 4 nice ones ready to fit.
along with a back axle I've had ready to fit for about 5 years now
