Is there a difference between ordinary leaf springs and barabolic?

The leaves on parabolics are not touching so you dont get the friction between the plates as well as the the stiffness of the spring to overcome. When standard leaves are all rusted up they are nearly solid. Think they have less leaves too, like 2 or 3.

I gather parabolics can be a bit bouncey by comparision to standard, but never had any myself so cant comment.
 
Nothing wrong with a good set of standard springs but they do need servicing once a year to stop them from seizing.Get a good set of parabolics and you won't ever want to go back to standard,they are a lot softer ride and don't need any maintainence at all but you get what you pay for so which ever you choose don't buy cheap crap :)
