What rear springs look right in my 69 convertible?

I am trying to figure out if I should go with lowered springs or stock. I have read that some think they sit too high, some too low. I get that it is personal preference but all I have to go on right now is what I had.

As you can see the old ones were trashed. I assume with poly bushings, new shocks and springs it will be higher.
Can any of you post a pic of your car and whatever springs you have so I can see them. Maybe this is already been done, if so please point me in the general direction and I will try to find the post.

Thanks everyone,
Bob

Thanks!







The wheels are original to the car. 14x6. Tire size is p215 70rx14

I am thinking about putting after market SS1 with 15" rims and tires. I did that on my 72 and I think it sits better and fills the wheel well better,
