Default 67 Firebird Mono Leaf Spring Question

For the sake of originality, I have mono leaf springs and factory radius rods on my 67 Firebird 400. When going over bumps, it feels like the rear is bottoming out on the bump stops. I have replaced all the spring bushings, pads, and have new Koni Classic adjustable shocks.
I am considering replacing the springs as they may be original but when I read of how to tell if the springs need replacing, the only thing I see as indicators is if the springs sag and the car isn't sitting level. They don't sag and the car sits as it should.
I don't really want to spend $400 for new ones if I don't have to.
Any thoughts would be welcome.
