<<I think you answered your own question. The GT springs are unlikely

springs on the front are a nice way to both lower the car and stiffen it,
but not on the rear.
I concur partially. On my '57 A I installed lowered GT springs at all 4
corners, along with delron bushings and pads in back, and V8 bushings on the
front. I also installed a front sway bar (3/4") in delron bushes, and am
running 185/65 Dunlop D60A2 tires. The car setteled in well, and handles
wonderfully, being essentially neutral and hence controllable by throttle. An
A weighs about 200 Lbs less than a B, but this setup should work as well on a
B. OBTW, I continued with the standard shocks with the original valveing.
