Performance Springs for v6

I need to rebuild the suspension on my v6 car. I was thinking about getting some lowering springs, but I don't want to go more than 1 inch lower. I want it to handle good, but not have a harsh ride. I'm not sure what to do about it being a v6. If I get something like the Eibach Pro kit would the front end be higher than the rear? Would it be level?

I was also thinking of getting some stock replacement springs for a Trans Am or an IROC or something, but again the v6 is lighter in the front.

Download the application guide for Suspension Techniques from http://www.belltechcorp.com ; they're the only company I know of that makes a 1" lowering spring set for our V6's.

I have a feeling they'll be who I buy my springs from... after all, they -are- meant for our engines' weight...

I was thinking some stock type WS6 springs would be good but they aren't right for the v6, but. . . .


What about WS6 springs from an '89 TTA?

Or this F41 package I've heard about?

Can we get new replacements for these springs?

How about this? Spohn Sway bars. Suspension Techniques front 1" drop springs, and rear 2002 WS6 springs.

This way the car would sit a bit higher in the back, I love that.
