Super stock springs are made to work as a pair. Putting in two of the same really defeats the purpose. IMHO.

You are correct. And if this car was going to spend more than 3 days a year at the track I would use them as a set
I guess the point I’m making is that once you break up the pair there is no advantage over a stock or heavy duty spring just because they are called “super stock”. IMHO
Those are NOT the 2800 pound A body spring numbers. They end in 002 and 003. Those ain't them.
I think your opinion is correct to a point.
But this combo has worked for others and may be advantageous when running drag radials. I will find out.
If it doesn't work I will still have the correct one on the shelf.
Again....if this was a dedicated drag car it would be different.
yeah but you’re not using cal tracs or bars, just spring sliders replacing the shackles right?
Actually... (are you sitting down?). I am using the old Lakewood Traction bars that were on the car when I dragged it out of a snowbank .

Yes .. they were yellow. But I had them powder coated flat black
They car was originally the same color as the one in your pick . But now its the same as your avatar .
That was my 2nd 340 Swinger, bought it in Summer of '75.
Hey whatever works for you, I’m not a drag race guy!
The super stocks have a few different things going other than being different side to side, the front section is different and the spring rate is significantly higher. Yeah the side to side difference counters the spring wrap action some more, but even two of the same side would be better than stockers.

They work!
