Choosing a rear suspension
As per the chassis book, but of course, this isn’t saying it can’t be done with leaf springs. I believe they think it better and easier to go away from the SS springs at a certain point. And while probably true, your wallet may argue or you may just want to try the springs anyway.
With a manual trans, it is suggested to move away from SS springs. At a certain point. At 9.50’s and quicker, they suggest something else besides SS springs.
