I cant say for sure a I have only done this to a Lark but I added a main spring cut down to fit under the old main and next spring. The length of the new spring needs to be in the middle of the ends of the springs it's in between. So there is a progressive step.

I wonder if this is the "Studeman" you refer to.

Here is a picture of my springs after the local spring shop added a leaf to them. I was lowering the car and had them "de-arched". The extra leaf was added to maintain carrying capacity, but that's another story. I am posting to show you how a professional spring shop placed them.

I've done Ray Fichthorn's treatment to three cars, a 55 President, 64 Hawk and an Avanti. It works!
