I never even considered only doing one.
I went through this with my BGT... RB springs rather than CB.
After installing them and having the ass end of the GT sit up like a hot rod...
I don't want to got through that again with the Midget.
Someone out there has to know something about which springs are which.
...some way to identify what I have in hand..and what it is I actually need.

Paul,
Please tell me you ordered two rear springs and not
just one. :o)
I hated that job...did mine last April...what a BITCH.
I wish I could help but I'm not sure of the
measurements for the '73.
