Installing Rear Seat Want to Add Heavy Duty Rear Springs

I have a 95 Club Car. I am installing a rear seat in back and want to beef up suspension with heavy duty rear springs. I have found some double eye springs that measure 27" from eye to eye. They are rated for 1500lbs capacity and are 4 leaf. Also the eye diameter is 9/16th inch. Is this leaf too stiff compared to the Club Car heavy duty springs? Also are the Club Car bushings designed to fit into a 9/16th hole in the leaf. I just bought the cart and would like to avoid paying the high dollar for the Club Car springs if these are suitable. Thanks for any help on this.

This morning I called a spring service in Fort Wayne and ask them about adding a spring. They said they keep a set for Club Cars on hand. I picked them up this afternoon and have them installed. It took a little work as I had to cut off both bolts that are nearest the motor. We haven't had 4 people on the cart yet but it does set a little higher and more firm. I think it will do the trick. I did this before I seen the post about adding a spring. The spring they made for me is thicker than the single spring that was on the cart. It cost me a little less than $45 for the pair. Thanks for your input.
