I have a 73 2.0 with factory front and rear swaybars, springs were getting kinda saggy so I replaced them with the 100 lb Weltmeister"s, great ride and very good handling, according to James Smith a former car of the month winner and owner of a beautiful original six. I haven't touched the shocks yet nor have I measured my ride height to see if it is perfect at all corners, if you are primarily a street car I think these are a great choice as the ride height was lowered by about an inch and a half, I am running 205/60 15 Bridgestone Potenza's on Fuch's rims with no clearance problems.
