I have a pair of 003 super stock springs. Will they work correctly with my slide a links?

I have the slide a links but not the SS springs. In fact I bought the S-a-L from of guy here on FABO just haven't had a chance to test with them yet.
I'd say it's ok. You may have the spring working against the bar, but I doubt it.
Also, for some reason (my luck) the bushing in the front spring eye on my car was a different diameter than anything else so the bushings that came with the springs wouldn't work.
Luckily, I have a bunch of scrap aluminum here and I just made my own bushings. Still, it was a PITA. And of course, no one else ever heard of a spring with that diameter front bushing. I have the only one EVER made! Again, my luck.

I was hoping using a 003 in place of the 002 would work ok .
Sorry , I was thinking sliders for the rear of the spring. I have the 002 and 003 springs with the Competition Engineering Slide a links on my car now. Also Viking 9 way double adjustable shocks. They work dam good. 1.451 60 foot. 10.37 quarter mile at 129.65 mph. Car is a 74 duster with springs moved inboard. Approx 3300 lbs. most ppl told me they wouldn’t work together, They were put in at the same time, and it seems pretty dam good. Pass side is adjusted as tight as I could by hand. Driver side is just so it’s touching. Hope this helps. Kim

Slide a links WORK , especially with stick shift combination
For what I know : S.S. springs fight the Cal Tracs , not necessarily the Slides. What I have seen dropping the clutch on a 425-450 horsepower 327 ,in a 4:56 geared 66 Nova . ( it was,gutted, and caged. Went 11:7 ,@ 116....
Using Slides...closed exhaust, street radials ...not dot legal stuff
