One of my cars are 1" over and I don't like them. My other car with reg springs handles better and rides better. I started this post hours ago, before seeing the above post just now got back to it.

Having the azz end up in the air destroys the handling is all. My gold 71 is sitting on EPSO 1" over springs and my black 74 is on stock height springs.

I seem to recall SS springs are 160ish, so the ride will soften up some. But the 2" over ride height creates greater side laoding of the spring pack, so they are not as stable for cornering as a flatter spring. However, at 2," they may be flatter than SS springs, so you'll just have to wait and see. Last set of SS springs I isntalled were more like a +3 and there is some on on here who installed an SS set that resulted in a radical +6, but that isn't the norm.
