V6 vs V8 springs Interchangeable???
I was wondering, since there are a few of you doing LT1 swaps, are they interchangable? I know the spring rates are different, but what about the actual fit?

I cant say from experience, but as far as I know they are totally interchangeable. Should be same exact fit.

They ar totally interchangeable, same withabout every other suspension part.

thing is they will raise the front of the car an inch or two do to the lighter weight of a v6.

Completely inter-changeable with no modifications needed to be done.

In fact you'll see some fo the LT1 guys running rear V6 springs at the track.
