im not sure if its the spring or the decarbon shock that is softer. But the Z28's suspension is meant to carry a heavier engine/car and handle alittle better so its stiffer. The V6 suspension will allow more weight transfer on launchs.

What about getting hal or koni adjustables?

I don't know, perhaps 180k mile rear springs would already be as soft as V6 springs. <shrug>
