ALICE SPRINGS, AUSTRALIA
Anyone use these springs (P4120863 right, P4120864 left)? Are they super stock springs, if so how much lift do they provide in the rear over stock HD springs (which I have now)? I want to get the arse of my 68 up in the air just a little more (and use even larger (bias ply, MTs or Pro Trac) tires for a nostalgic super stock look (this may get out of hand quickly, in addition to a super stock 'glass hood I'm also thinking of some airbrushed fish scales on the C panel and maybe even some gold or silver leaf honeycombing...).

The first two pics are the cuda as now, fully laden but with an empty gas tank (with BFG TA275/60 x 15s). The third pic is the car as a rolling shell - sitting about an inch higher, where it like it.

Any comments, will these springs give me the extra lift I want, like them, hate them?

To me it looks good. The springs are S/S springs for a 2800# car. For an auto or manual. accord to the numbers you mentioned
 
Hmm, wouldn't it sit lower on these springs? A Barracuda weighs a lot more than 2800#... more like 3300.

In fact, I think Tom Condran recommends using two of the righthand spring of this set to sit FLAT on an A-body.

One thing it will do is require a torsion bar adjustment to sit level side to side. THe SS springs look like two different springs for two different cars. They are two different part numbers left to right.
 
I have those springs on my 69 swinger...it sits about the same as yours now.

Torsion bar adjustment may help but it won't level the back...lol
