I don't know, rear springs are still a mystery to me. You want something stiff to keep the rear end from bouncing up and lossing traction, but you also want something soft enough to help with the speration the SSMs will give you. I don't know how big a part the spring plays in all this vs. the SSMs and shocks, though.

A lot of guys run stock springs so I don't know if there is really anything better.
