I had bought this kit a little while back thinking it was a lowering kit for the Mark VIII and was planning to us it on my Thunderbird SC....since it's pretty and stuff. 
However, after counting the coils and knowing that they are Eibach (progressive rate springs), it looks like they are stock ride height, progressive rate springs. Here is a link to what I have: http://www.strutmasters.com/Lincoln-Mark-VIII-Air-Suspension-Conversion-Kit-p/-m8-4-s.htm
Condition is very good, I was guess 10K miles or so. There is one stud missing from one strut mount - a bolt & nut could be used in it's place. Just a little bit of light rust on the bottom areas of the struts and shocks. Very few scratches on the springs.
In addition to the web link, I can tell you the following about this kit:
1) Rear shocks are Gabriel Ultras (I have these on another SC and the ride is firm)
2) Front springs read SMSP 3, rear springs read SMSP 4 -I don't know the significance of this.
3) Struts had brand new strut mounts on top (these are like $50-$80 a piece last time I checked - and hard to find)
4) Front struts are labeled "Strutmaster"...I assume they are Gabriels as well.
Pictures attached. Retails for $509 + shipping new...asking $325 plus shipping or $275 picked up locally. I am debating keeping this stuff for another SC...so don't delay if you think you want them!
