1LE springs w/ decarbons

[jonny985]

I bought a set of the takeoff decarbon shocks last month while they were on sale but my question is what springs should i use. I don't want to lower the car too much seeing that the decarbons can't handle lowering very well. Plus I am on a budget.

I would get the v8-takeoff springs but I don't want to make the front end look goofy.

Has anyone used the 1LE Springs with decarbons? or just on a v6.

Does anyone have any pictures of 1LE springs or the take off V8 shocks on a v6?

Thanks for any info.

I have 1LE(94 decarbons) with 1LE springs. They work great. I don't know the exact differences in valving between V8 and 1LE.

Did you guys buy the shocks/springs from gmpartsdirect, from a junk yard, or another source?

you can get them at www.slponline.com
so the Decarbon's and takeoff V8 springs would be good?????

The springs on slponline are stock v8 springs I believe, thats where I bought my shocks

I don't think that they are 1le

i was wondering sort of the same thing, i wouldnt' mind getting all of the slp v8 takeoff shocks for liek 50 buck, i want the springs too, but i defintily don't want to raise my car up would the slp v8 take off springs do that?

I've heard many people say that the front V8 take off springs will definatly raise the front, but I think the rear will be fine, seeing that the springs for the later v6s (98-02) are exactly the same as the earlier and later v8s. The ones on earlier V6s (93-97) are the wimpy springs, as seen in the database. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
