In the old days, when quality meant something, many cars wrapped their springs. The latest I can think of are the springs on my 1950 Studebaker, which are wrapped in steel and have a grease fitting on each end. It gives a nice ride.

What Tom W says times two . If you run lubricated springs you will need to use good shocks or the car can bounce dangeriously .
