V8 lowering springs in V6
If i got some V8 lowering springs would they leave the ride height roughly what my car has stock? but with the stiffer spring rate?
I dont want to lower it as i scrape now and I can take turns WAY faster than is legal or smart as she is now but i would like some stiffer springs.
P.S. would the 1" lower iroc spring work for this?

Re: V8 lowering springs in V6
The fronts would indeed leave you at about stock height but the rears would be lowered so you would be left with an upwward rake. If you can just get V8 lowered fronts only and and v8 standard heights rear then life is good.

I had spring tech 1.75 drop in mine. The fronts would set the car close to where the 15year old v6 springs were. Sadly, spring techs v8 spring rates arnt any stiffer then the v6 stock spring rate.

It might work to cut the front ones a little to get the ride height right. Be alot stiffer in the front that the rear, though.
