What is the best diff ratio?

I have a 1275cc a series engine running through the standard 4 speed gearbox. The car accelerats okay but I think it would be better with a lower geared diff - currently 4.22:1 and with 13" whhels with 175/70 tyres

Any views on what the best ratio to go for is - 3.7 or 3.9?

Where can you get Rear Spring Clips?

Does anyone know if you can buy the clips / rubber that help to hold the rear leaf springs together. I can't see them listed on any of the parts suppliers. Are they available as a part or just as part of a new/reconditioned spring?

Cheers
