Default cts vs cts v springs

Are they different heights? I put what I thought was stock suspension on my car but it didn't raise it. And my camber in back is still the same as it was when it was lowered. Its adjusted all the way.

On which model year are you talking about?

I've seen comments from the '03-07 V6 folks that using V springs actually raises the ride height slightly, since they're about 25% firmer rates. Based on that, I would say they're at or close to the same length.

Well I made a trade for my d2s for a stock set of shocks/springs. I had the d2 raised as much as they could be to help the the camber until I got around to doing some grinding to get more adjustment. I out the stock stiff on and I'm just abour positive ita almost tge same ride height as with the d2s. I'm not sure what year the stock stuff came off of but he told me it was a v.
