I really couldn't tell you for sure. The last 3 cars I have built have all had coil overs on the front mainly because I like the way it looks and the ability to change spring rated and dampening. I don't think I have ridden in a " properly " set up leaf spring car. The problem is that you start with a short wheelbase, put on a solid beam type axle, short travel suspension, maybe 4 inches, small front tires with very little cushion effect, you will have a pretty rough riding car. I love the way my 3 window rides but if you get on a concrete freeway with expansion joints every 20ft you will definitely notice it. The first thing I tell people who ride in my car for the first time is this car does NOT ride like my Suburban.
