  • quick shock question

    i need to replace my shocks soon.. but i have a question.. the front/rear shocks are the SAME in a v6 as they are a v8, correct?

    the only difference is the spring lb#, right??

    thanks :cool:

    Re: quick shock question

    Correct , check out the tech data base, the rear changed from 95lbs to 114lbs, in 98' and I think that was with the v6's too, don't know off hand the front spring rates but they are in the TECH data base, I'm using 114lb rears right now with Blisteins, for the front will be QA-1's with 300lb springs*just need to get them install soon) so I can bring up my front end that has 13 year old Eibachs 1.5" springs and KYB adj. shocks. I'm trying to get it close to stock height, maybe 1/2" lower in front so I don't scrap on anything anymore. Just tired of it or I'm justing gettting old, having it lowered for over 13 years .

          im actually just looking to replace shocks, i just wasnt sure if they were the same with the v6/ls1 since i was pretty sure they used a different spring rate.

          any cheap shocks you would recommend? im not looking for performance or anything, i very rarely go more than 5mph over the speed limit
