front springs
ok, now i'm looking to get my front suspension together. i know if i use my factory ws6 springs, the front of the vehicle will be slightly raised due to the lighter ls1 compared to the tpi.
what springs should i use, i was looking at the drop springs from eihbach, but figured if i get a complete set, the back would still seem lower, and i don't really want an entire set if i don't need it. would v6 springs work? or u guys think that would fk up my handling/control? i'm not going to cut or heat my springs.

Replace the fronts and leave the stockers in the back. At one point I was going to replace the rears and buoght a set of 4th gen isolaters to compensate for the drop. Since the stance was perfect after replacing the fronts I decided not to deal with it.

I've got a set of stock v8 springs with 1 full coil cut off. They were too low on my friends 305 vert, so I gave him my stock ones to try half a coil and I'm gonna try his. With my lighter front end, it should sit pretty good
