How much will the 1LE springs raise or lower a v6? Since they are meant for the v8 how much will it raise the front? I really like the spring rates for the 1LE springs but don't want to make the ride height higher than it already is.

They wont raise the car, the car will just compress the spring less since its stiffer. I would guess about 1/4" or so higher than stock.2002 5-spd NBM Camaro

Here are V8 spring rates, both the front and rear are progressive:
1.5" drop
Front = 450 - 515 lbs/in
Rear = 215 - 245 lbs/in
So I would be ok with these they would just compress less since they are meant for the V8? How much heavier is the LS1 front end then the V6? I'm look for springs that are stiff in the rear and front...seems like no one cares about the back end being really sloppy. Anyone tried these on their car?<a href=\"http://www.onid.orst.edu/~waltejam/\" target=\"_blank\">98 Bright Red Camaro</a><br />Too many mods to list....check my website

It's not that. Stiff rear springs lessen rear traction and make it difficult to put the power down.2000 Firebird convert, chameleon/tan, M5, Y87, TCS, BMR tower brace and panhard, KBDD sfcs, 245/50-16 GSCs
