Looking for new rear leaf springs
I have Afco springs on my Duster. They have a full range of arch's and spring rates. I'm using 20231M's, which have a 121 lb/in rate. Stock XHD leaf springs were in the 110 lb/in range, so they don't ride stiff at all. I have Hotchkis Fox shocks paired up with them though. The Afco's do have a reinforced front section for better wrap control, but its not as aggressive as the SS's and they are the same side to side. I've been really happy with mine, they've sagged very little since I got them and are about perfect on the spring rate with my Hellwig rear sway bar. I've got the front end set up pretty stiff though, with stock sized torsion bars they'd be fine without the rear bar or with factory bars if your car has them.
The only thing about them is that they have 1" rear eyes, so you need to use a bushing like Energy Suspensions 2-2117G, which goes from 1" down to the 1/2" A body shackles.
Here's a link to the 20231m's that I have. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/afc-20231m/overview/
