Re: v6 lowering springs?

you should be able to use any of the rear springs and I think suspension technique has them for the front

Re: v6 lowering springs?

Have you considered cutting your springs? 1/4 coil at a time. Do not cut them with heat.

Re: v6 lowering springs?

there are very few if any options for the v6 cars. cut what you have (not the best idea) Or probably the best yet most expensive way would be weight jacks from ground control
