V6 Springs

Will v6 springs help w/ traction??? If so front or rear or both? What are some free mods I can do? Traction is giving me problems now. I have boxed in my LCAs. I am gonna do the torque arm next. I have just enough money to race so I cant buy bushings and stuff. Any free or VERY cheap ideas welcome. I have a v6 parts car out back and I have pulled all the excess weight off my camaro.

Thanks guys

I have heard of people using the v6 springs upfront and in the rear. They said putting the v6 springs in the rear was a bad mistake. They were going to switch back to the v8 springs. I would put the v6 springs in the front but leave the rear alone.

I had V6 springs on all 4 corners and I switched the backs to V8 IROC springs. I did not notice a difference, but that may just be my car. I also have the southside lift bars.

You will want the v6 springs in the front to allow for better weight transfer, however you still want the rear springs to be fairly stiff so that yoru rear tires plant better

I had all 4 corners with v6 springs in it. with a mild 350, the rear tires spun all the way into overdrive! but if you do any high speed driving over 120 the back of the car would sawy side to side!
