Got a pair of v6 springs and took my v8 springs out my v8 are shorter then the v6 ones. Did they send me v8 springs??

the v8 springs are more stiff, the v6 spring is softer, so it will take a taller spring to compress and achieve the same ride height.
i put 2000 v6 vert springs in my iroc and they were shorter than my stock v8 springs.

You do not want a softer spring in the back, you are better off with the V8 or stiffer springs. Otherwise you will unload the rear tires and cause it to squat more and not hook well.

well the v-6 spring is the easier way to go. and are not much shorter than the v-8 springs. it will probably drop the car around 1/2 an inch in the rear. I have a set of 2000 z28 springs and have replaced them with v-6 springs out of a 95 camaro. but every car reacts different at the track. the v-6 springs work great in my car though.

I don't agree with that statement, the softer spring compresses and extends easier than the v8 spring and you want the extension. You need to control that movement better but you'll work better.

i agree with you. if they didnt work, then why do alot of people use them? including myself.

I think on less than ideal track prep the V6 springs would work better. On perfect prep the stiffer spring would be the way to go. It would allow you to drive the tires better and spend more time going down the track instead of going up. That's my take on the situation.

thats funny, i was actually going to mention that. if you can make the car hook on stiffer springs, itd be less wasted energy. unless u just want the car to look cool on the launch lol
