One thing to be wary of when greasing springs, and leaving them uncovered, is that grit and dust from the road sticks to it, this then acts as a grinding paste and eventually the leaves wear into each other. This manifests in what appears to be a machined shape on the top of the leaves that matched the shape of the leaf above.
As a direct comparison our Chummy came with gaiters and I grease those. The RK has uncovered springs that are over 30 years old and have never seen a drop of grease - both cars ride the road very well indeed.
