Default Need help, ls1 conversion in lt1 car, 4x4

Ok i did an ls1 conversion with bmr kmember and a-arms in my 94 z28 and my front end is a lot hiherg. I would like to know if i change from stock lt1 front springs to stock ls1 front springs will this lower my ride hieght?

I have been reading and some post say different info from others. I do know that the ls1 fronts are 292lb/in and the lt1's are 310lb but then some post say that the ls1 springs are taller and it would make the ride height even taller than the lt1's?

I would like my front end to be lower without using lowering springs or Qa1 adjustable shocks and springs. Should i use spring from a 93-97 v6? If someone could please help, i would appreciate it.

Honestly I know you say you don't want to lower the car, but i'd bite the bullet and do it. I don't know of any other way then cutting the springs to lower the car. If it sits high you're just going to have to deal with it unless you want to put a set of springs on it.

Personal exp. Ls1 springs will. Sit lower on lt1 and v6s. I have a set of ls1 sportlines on my lt1 ans it tucks up pretty nice.
The lt1s have to be firmer.to compensate for the iron vs alum block
