I've not heard before that the '74 front springs aren't strong enough.  Where 
are you getting that information?  Can you elaborate on what you mean by not 
strong enough?

The "stabilizer" in your link is just a spacer.  It would not do anything to 
strengthen a spring but would raise the car's height relative to the 
suspension.  If your springs are sagging you could use it to compensate for 
lost height but you still have a reduced range of compression due to the 
sagging spring.

Springs can be retensioned by a qualified shop.  Or you could have new ones 
made.

Since the 74 springs are not strong enough has anyone tried a Coil Spring
Stabilizer. This sounds like it may make up for the spring strength without
replacing with the 75 springs.
