on a 98 or newer Camaro. I know the one guy put them on his 94, but I wanted to know if anybody knows if the 98 and newer will set the same. I'm hoping they keep the stock height. Thanks.

You already have V8 springs in the back, and the fronts are just a bit softer than the V8. So changing to V8 springs really won't do much for you. See the Technical Database for the spring rates for each year.Robert - owner www.FirebirdV6.com/CamaroV6.com

I was going to only change the front springs. The rates in the database are 225lb/in for the V6, and 292lb/in for the V8. I don't want to get too hard, as I commute in it everyday, but I want to see if they will help keep the car from nosing in so much.
I will be putting 1LE sway bars and panhard rod on, along with Bilstein HDs, along with the V8 front springs.Wife and a dog, they both think they\'re Kujo.<br /> <br />1999 3.8 A4 Y87<br />Navy Blue Metallic<br />BFG G-Force KDWS 275/40/17s, <br />WS6 Wheels (17x9)<br />Phoenix Transmissions 2400 Stall Converter<br />FRA, Holley Powershot filter, Whisper Lid, Ported Throttlebody<br />2000 manifolds, Flowmaster, WS6 Tail Pipes, <br />MSD 8.5mm Wires, MSD Coils, Autolite plugs<br />Performance Cryogenics treated rotors<br />1LE Sway Bars and panhard rod, 1LE front springs w/SLP Bilsteins, stock rear springs w/ 3rd Gen Bilsteins, BMR STB, KBDD SFCs, 1LE rear lower control arms, 1LE front lower control arms<p>1968 Chevelle Malibu 327 TH350Comment

The 225 lbs/in springs are for the 93-97 cars. Your car should have the 257 lbs/in front springs. Not as big a change as it was for me in my 94.Comment

Ahhh, thanks Backfire (sorry, I couldn't remember your screen name).
Dom, how are the front springs? Judging by the rate for them, they sound like they are pretty stiff, especially being that they're linear rate springs. I was thinking of going with the 1LE rears, if I wanted the rear stiffer, and if the Bilsteins didn't help much. I'm just leery about going to a linear rate spring as hard as the 1LE fronts.
I'll just go ahead and try the stock V8 fronts for now, because I can pick up a set here for free, so I'll swap them when I get my struts changed. Then, I'll go from there.Wife and a dog, they both think they\'re Kujo.<br /> <br />1999 3.8 A4 Y87<br />Navy Blue Metallic<br />BFG G-Force KDWS 275/40/17s, <br />WS6 Wheels (17x9)<br />Phoenix Transmissions 2400 Stall Converter<br />FRA, Holley Powershot filter, Whisper Lid, Ported Throttlebody<br />2000 manifolds, Flowmaster, WS6 Tail Pipes, <br />MSD 8.5mm Wires, MSD Coils, Autolite plugs<br />Performance Cryogenics treated rotors<br />1LE Sway Bars and panhard rod, 1LE front springs w/SLP Bilsteins, stock rear springs w/ 3rd Gen Bilsteins, BMR STB, KBDD SFCs, 1LE rear lower control arms, 1LE front lower control arms<p>1968 Chevelle Malibu 327 TH350Comment
