V8 springs have more resistnace because a v8 is heavier then a v6, so if u throw v8 springs on your v6, your front is going to sit too high becuase the springs are expecting more weight. V6 springs dont expect that much weight so it works out good, but you throw a v8 in a v6 car with v6 springs and you start bottoming out.

dropzone makes ones for v6 and v8. when i bought mine, they didnt have springs for the v8 yet, only 6. you may have to call them now for the v6 springs, but i know they do have them.

On redraif's car, we used a V8 Eibach Pro-Kit and cut 1/2 coil from the front. Works great.
