It really depends on how aggressive and frequently you will be with spirited acceleration from a standstill. There’s nothing wrong with mono leafs and if your car sat straight, I’d suggest to put them back on. Leaf choice is a preference IMHO for either. Whatever your decision, I would advise you to shop around for what company makes the best correctly manufactured springs that will put your car at correct ride height. Heartbeat doesn’t make them nor do the other aftermarket companies.

Assuming the 12 bolt you have is for multi leaf, the 3 leaf set up will be a good choice too. Single leaf 12 bolt was a '67 only axle.

Leaf spring help
The 12 bolt I have is for multi leaf application it did come from a 68 camaro . Trying to stay away from the single mono leaf due to wheel hop under heavy acceleration.
The 3 leaf idea sounds good lots of threads on other forums where camaro owners have mentioned they like there 3 leaf Hotchkin springs. I did talk with Eaton springs this morning they recommend a 5 leaf spring rate of 126. Thanks for the comments... Jim Last edited by Jims69z28; 05-17-2023 at 09:49 PM.
