Parabolic leaf springs

More of a question for Stockers. Looking for pros or cons on Calvert parabolic leaf springs to replace a set of 5 leaf Landrum springs. Friction is a given in multi leaf applications and there is a weight savings in parabolic sprung cars, just looking for any input as car has CalTrac system on it now. Thanks in advance.

Just look at how many cars in Stock and Super Stock run Calvert leaf springs.

On the Cuda it saved about 45 lbs of unsprung weight vs the conventional springs. It was easier to adjust the car to go straight with the Cal Tracks before we had wheele bars.
