Best bang for the buck leaf spring
I had planned on building a triangulated 4 link for my 72 Nova but in the interest of time and simplicity i think i'm going to go back to a leaf spring set up as they can still be very effective in autocross and road race applications. I spoke with Marcus at SC&C today (great guy must have been on the phone for almost an hour and a half) and for now i think its in my best interest to go back to a leaf spring. My problem is i sold my hotchkis leaf springs that i bought a few years ago for new for 350 and now they are up to about 500

What leaf springs would you guys recommend? I'm looking at the hotchkis 3 inch drop, global west L-2, or hyperco multi leafs maybe somewhere around 200 lb. Any other suggestions?
Global west and hyperco are cheaper but they don't come with bushings or shackles. I'm not going for absolute performance, i understand i'm limiting myself somewhat with leafs but in the future i plan on installing a watts link to control lateral movement.
What would you guys recommend?
