Now struts and shocks shouldnt matter between v6 and v8.. Also rear springs are the same also..
Now i know the front springs are different.. I guess this will lift the car in the front or what.

some say it will a little but do u think wew really need shock i dont know some say they last for ever some say they just last for about 130k who knows
gotta replace the stock decarbons every 40-50k. i don't know if i would make a big deal out of replacing your springs, but new shocks will make a huge difference. using V8 springs your car will not raise or lower; you will just be subject to a different spring rate.
yeah dude i still have my orignal ones from the factory at 125,000 miles so anythign goign make a diffrent to me lol i guess ill just pick up the shocks and struts but damn that shipping is expenisve

I have the v8 t/o shocks/struts, it worked awesome for restoring ride quality, but it did make the ride stiffer (can feel the road more) but it no longer bottoms out and it feels like it handles a lot better. SLP recommended not putting the springs on as the stockers dont really wear out that much at all and the v8's would raise the front end of the car. After I got them on, the car rode awesome, no bottoming out, problems solved.

Makes no sense, restored ride quality but made the ride stiffer? sounds like a contradiction. If your suspension is stiffer its going to ride a bit ruffer. And are not RS springs stiffer than the Z28 model?
I would just stay with the stock springs personally. Upgrading to aftermarket struts and shocks will make your ride alot smoother. Don't expect anything special from Z28 springs, they are softer.
