Both the 5 and 6 leaf springs are compatible with your Falcon. The 5 leaf spring is ideal for leisurely cruising as it offers a smoother ride. On the other hand, the 6 leaf spring is better suited for hard acceleration as it provides more firmness and less twisting. Ultimately, your choice should depend on your car usage.
