springs
Are LS1 v6 springs the same thing as the V8? The springrates page shows same rate and is the same height.. can't be heavier at that end because its the same body back there.
That would be kinda interesting if people were swapping out their springs for the same ones

LT1 years 93-97 appear to have different rear springrates though.
I have seen people run fast on the V-6 spring don't get me wrong but I do not see it as an advantage.
What type of shocks are on the car?

If your simply looking to get a better 60ft I would first get the best tires you can.
This is one concept that I don't understand yet... people like stock springs for drag racing, yet I don't think a lot of hardcore drag racers are using stock springs. I can never find any information on "why" people like certain springs better for drag... just a lot of opinions.
So nobody knows for sure if 98-02 fbody v6 and v8 rear springs are identical?

Actually I have quite a few customers still running the stock springs.
Most common reason to change them is for a mini-tub and they convert over to the 2 1/2" coilover spring but the spring rate still remains close to stock in most cases.
