v8 lowering springs on v6

[Landonz]

has anyone ever put a prokit for a v8 on a v6. I have some that I wanted to give summer for her v6.. Will it work and what can I expect?

Don't do it... The front springs are stiffer to compensate for the engine weight, and because of this the front on a v6 with v8 springs will sit high.

Re: v8 lowering springs on v6

what about the rear springs, since those are just like 20-30 lbs stiffer in compression pressure. Will this drop the rear end of a 6 with thses springs installed?

It depends on the year of the car. If you have a 98+ then the v8 spring set is fine since the rear spring rate is the same and the front of a v8 and a v6 car is about the same it just depends on how stiff of a front spring rate you want. That said I'd go with Strano springs over anything if handling is what you want but the hotchkis springs are bettert han the eibachs IMO as well.

Yeah, people make a huge deal about V8-V6 spring compatibility, but the truth is, 100-200 lbs difference in the front isn't really that much. My Hyperco Hypercoils are 'universal' for V8 and V6.
