Ok so my buddy Mike has a 00 WS.6...he's decided he wants to sell his suspension set up and buy a new one...so he's offering it to me.

He has BMR lowering springs, bilstien shocks and the stock ws.6 32mm front sway bar and 19mm rear sway bar...

he's offering this for an INCREDIBLE PRICE! Cause he knows that I don't have any money...haha

So my quesetion is should all this work? And be nice and look sweet?

PLEASE I NEED FEEDBACK FAST CAUSE HE NEEDS TO SELL SO HE CAN GET HIS NEW STUFF!!! PLEASE HELP!

I GREATLY APPRECIATE!

Why haven't you given him the money already?

LOL, yeah if it's a good deal there's no reason all that stuff won't work great on your car.

Freakin awesome! So will it matter if I use his BMR springs on my v6 when he bought them for his v8?

From some of the research I've done here on the board, if you're up grading any single part of your suspension, you MUST upgrade other suspension parts to match. Just upgrading to the V8 swaybars alone on our V6 springs is a very bad idea (Talk to V6bob). The shocks and springs have to be matched also in order to get optimal handling and performance. The whole suspension from the WS6 sounds great though! Just outta curiosity...how much $$??

I basically don't know squat about suspension mathematics, but I'm trying to pick things up as I go along.

They're V8 springs so when you put them on yours, your front end is going to sit a little higher than they did on his. There's not as much weight difference between an LS1 and a 3.4 as there is an LT1 though so you might not even notice the difference.

Hockey man...he spent around like $750 for the springs and shocks, and he has his old sway bars that he's going to sell me too...I'm not going to reveal my price because he really is selling them to me dirt cheap cause he's the FREAKIN MAN! haha...but let's just say it's about a THIRD of what he paid from the springs and shocks...haha!

We're putting them on this SUNDAY I'm so freakin excited! I'll post up pictures of before and after!

Check BMR's website and see if the part numbers match for v8 vs v6 springs. I know Hotchkis uses the same springs for ls1 cars and v6 cars. The WS6 has an aluminum v8 which is close in weight to the cast iron v6 block. That set should work nice on your fbody. I have Bilsteins, the same size sway bars front and rear (off a 2000 ss camaro) with stock springs and I like the handling. I recently added better tires and Hotchkis trailing arms and the panhard bar and its even better.
