To some extent it depends on what shape they are in, but in many cases old springs can be disassembled, cleaned up, reassembled and reset. And the original front springs and swb rear springs have the advantage that the thickness material used in the leaves cannot be matched today, so that in these cases the springs cannot be exactly duplicated. This is important mainly for those trying to do an exact restoration, although there are some advantages in the larger number of thinner leaves.
Don't know if this has answered your question, as it still comes back to what shape they are in.
