It would be difficult to do any ratically different changes to the swing spring without doing away with the rocker box (which is the key part that makes the thing work.. A much stiffer main leaf would increase roll stiffness and reduce the swing-spring effect.
So I don't think that you can do much to that configuration to improve handling without defeating the design functionality of the concept.

But thatwas on a rotoflex car so it might not be applicable to your question. Are you asking about using it with the swing spring setup or with the original suspension setup?

Heavy duty truck spring maybe? Heavy duty trailer spring? Just wonder.
