Physicall, they should fit. However, the 98-02 springs should be designed for the lighter weight of the aluminun LS-1 engine, versus the iron blocked LT-1.

Depends on how low you want to go. The front will drop lower than the back.

I have an Eibach Pro Kit for the LT1, it lowers about 1.5" all around. They advertise 1.3, but after it was all done, it was closer to 1.5".

Agreed... If you look up the part numbers for the LS1 cars its the same as the V6 cars
