front spring suggestions

Please tell me about your front spring choices. Is there an after market vendor/manufacture who custom builds accurate spring choices?

Specifically, factory style front springs as used on stock/super stock racers.

Also, is there a "home method" to measure rate of a factory type spring?

I have Santhuff. Problem is you have to cut a complete coil off for the to fit into factory lower control arms as the are machined flat on both end of their springs. I am not comfortable with the flat side not sitting flush in the lower control arm spring pocket and do not want any cutting or abrasions that might lead to a cracked arm some day.
