I've wondered about this one for a while:  I bought new rear springs for my 
RBB conversion project car long ago, and when I removed the old ones, I held 
the new one right up alongside and noticed no differences in arch or eye 
placement, so I took the old set to the scrapyard.  The new set has one 
additional 'leaf' (really a short length of leaf at the bottom), and I wonder 
if I may have unintentionally gotten a set of RBB springs, and now my car 
will set too high.  My question is - can you tell the difference between the 
two sets visually, or is the ride height set by spring rate so that both 
appear the same until load is applied??
