I have a 1972 dart swinger and I ordered a set of springs from summit a while ago and was wondering if anyone has these and what I can expect from them, I have them on the car but it is a long way from running, I bought them because of the load rating, I want a little higher stance than stock. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DCC-3412002/

Those should be super stock springs.They will lift the rear.They usually settle in a little after its driven.They do give a firm ride.Rocky

Super stock springs make the car sit high on the right to compesate for torque causing the left to lift higher. They work fine but,make the car sit a little funny. They work fine, just look a little odd. I put CalTracs on my A body and am quite pleased.

They will be stiff. Get a good pair of 50/50 shocks to go with them - help dampen the harshness a bit. Rating should be perfect though for your application.
