I don't know of anyone who has tried them on a V6, but I hear they're quite stiff. Sam Strano thinks theyre way too stiff while LG things theyre "just right" - they are pretty stiff springs though. Try to imagine progressive coils for 1LE cars :D

1.5" drop front, 1.625” rear
Front = 540 lbs/in
Rear = 140 - 180 lbs/in

Technical Database. I think that's only good for roads with no pot holes or bumps. You will not like them on the street. My 360 lbs/in fronts are borderline.

Dom what do you mean by borderline also what shocks do you have?

[DominusEtDeusNatus]

94 1LE shocks, 1LE springs

Borderline means that my car doesn't move down when I'm pushing down on it. It's all good on a smooth road, but it's borderline too stiff over bumps for most people. I wouldn't go over 400 lbs/in if you have bad roads around you. My level of comfort is non existent, but I know it's stiff.

i have the G2 springs along with the bilstein shocks. i think it rides fine. doesn't bottom out as much and the handling is much more predictable(i have 1le sway bars too). i have no complaints about the ride. it's firm but definitely not harsh. i would recommend them.

I have a body kit, should i go with the 1" eibach or the G2 1.5"?

How did you guys with the G2 or 1LE springs get away with not raising the front of the car? These springs were designed for a heavy V8 motor (especially the 94 1LE springs!), so I'd imagine they would "lift" the front end up.

Deuce, did you get your Bilsteins custom valved for your springs, and if so, how/where did you get it done?

Thanks!

There is no 941LE springs, only shocks. I mention that so that people know I have very stiff Decarbons, not Konis that came on later 1LEs.

i got the bilsteins from lg also who say they are already custom valved for the g2 springs. the car is still lower than stock the heavy *** all aluminum ls1 ain't much heavier than the heavy *** all iron 3800.
