V6 front springs

Would v6 front springs do anything over my lg motorsports springs? I was thinking maybe they would be have pretty good lift but maybe my thinking is wrong.

I don't think it would be worth it to change from the lg motersports ones.

For drag racing the V6 front springs are the absolute best way to go. I have them on my QA1's. You can pick up a set at the salvage yard for $40

Mike, just wondering since I recently bought some hal shocks, but I was under the impression that unless you bought the hal spring seats, only the hal springs would work correctly on the qa1s. And if that's the case, wouldnt it have been about as cheap, just to buy the hal drag springs? Were you able to get the v6 springs to work without the hal seats?

Would the v6 front springs work with say stock shocks? I have a set leftover from the swap that i am thinking about running.

Yep, they should work. The qa1s just have a little different seat area that the stock shock. That's what I was referring to above.

The V6 springs have a softer spring rate than the QA1 spring or the Moroso drag
spring.

You have to modify the stock lower spring perch and a few other things to get the V6 springs to work with the QA1's. I have all the info and pictures if any one needs help.

Also the V6 springs will work with stock shocks. Before I bought my QA1's I went to the salvage yard a bought the whole V6 shock/spring assemby for $40 from a 175mile car and installed it on my car. It was a lot better for drag racing than the stock set up.

What was the ride height like on the front with the stock shocks? Any pictures by chance?
