Default V6 to V8 frames

Is there a difference in suspensions and body/frames for a 96 Camaro?

I am worried the V6 version is not as sturdy?

just the springs, shocks and k-member for the most part without getting into the drive train.

It is just as sturdy as the v8 body. They are the same. Like Johnny said spring rates and shocks are a bit different. You may want to consider getting your hands on some SS sway bars or even go aftermarket just to tighten things up.

Just wondering how the shocks are different?
Both my v6 and v8 came with crappy decarbons.

Thanks, all suspension parts are being replaced with drag racing LS aftermarket parts.
