Will LS1 springs work on my LT1?

Ive always heard no, but wasnt sure why? My friend is selling his Eiback Prokit springs and would be willing to cut me a deal.

I checked Thunder's site and BMR springs are listed for 93-02 Fbodies so I dont see why the Eibach's would be any different. Most suspension parts I've seen for 4th gens are listed for 93-02.

Yes, they will work. Unlike the stock springs, which have a different rate for LT1 and LS1, the Eibachs are the same rate for 93-02.

They will work-but I would recommend against them. There is obviously a difference for Eibachs b/c they have specific ones for LT1's and LS1's. I asked my brother about it b/c I was thinking about doing the same thing and he explained why it would be better to get the ones for my car (can't remember what he said but he knows what he's talking about).

But to answer your question, they will fit

-How cheap you going to get them for? I looked around for a few weeks and got my Pro kit for $200 shipped brand new in the box. Or there is a seller on ebay where you can get them any day of the week for $230 shipped

Edit: nevermind, I think the reason my brother was telling me not to do it was the different rate-but according to "LT4 Firehawk" they are the same

Yes they will work fine. The difference is in the way they are built because the LS1 block weighs about 150#s less than the LT1 block and therefore the spring rates are a little different. (IMHO it would hardly be noticeable)
