They will fit
They are slightly stiffer
They will not raise your car
I would get them over the V8 takeoffs if you think your old springs are stretched/fatigued.
However, you should run the V6 fronts and rears at the same time from the newer model. If this is not possible, just buy an Eibach prokit or get the fronts from tacreations or some place like that [img]smile.gif[/img]
Do you know the entire history of your car? It may not be a sagging spring. It may be remnants of a previous accident. Happed to be the same thing that you have with my last car. Just a thought if the new springs don't seem to fix it.

You should NOT put rear 98+ rear springs with 93-97 front springs. They are the same spring rate as the V8, higher. Similar to putting a larger sway bar just in the rear. Not a good thing to do.

I agree, except for one thing.
"Similar" could cause someone to misunderstand the actual changes involved. Changing swaybars (either by going to a 2mm larger rear, or by using the "1LE" combo of 32/21) is a _far_ more drastic change than putting on V8 springs. If putting on the V8 rear springs is a bad idea, those swaybar changes are terrible.
Haven’t done anything on the Camaro, but put LEDs on my truck headlights . And my oil pressure sensor went out on the truck so going to fix that this...
