GT40 Irons, spring question, another one!

I think it is just a damper. I have a set of SVO iron GT40's on my 79. They have decent springs.

I have 94 Lightning heads on my 82, and they came with stock type springs, with rotators on the exhausts!
 
the old iron SVOs had single with damper , the stock Gt40s on the cobras, lightnings and explorers have stock springs with rotators , same as the E7s , the trickflow OEM upgrade kit is about the all out best replacement you can get without machine work .....
