Front coil spring on V6 and V8

What the inside diameter of front coil sprints on a '92 V6 and V8?

From some sources I heard that the values are different, so a V8 coil spring wouldn't fit in a V6 lower control arm. But I checked the values on rockauto and it gives the same inside diameter for both 3.1 V6 RS and 5.0 V8 Z28.

Re: Front coil spring on V6 and V8

the diameters are the same. either springs will fit either car (motor application). the difference is spring rate. the v8 will use a "heavier" spring rate. stock spring vs stock spring, the v8 spring into a v6 car will raise the front of the car, and be stiffer.

I'm in the planning phase of a V6 to V8 swap.

Based on your reply it's enough to change the front to V8 springs and they will fit perfectly to the current V6 front.
