Im pretty sure you will have to upgrade the front springs due to the weight differences going from a v-6 to a v-8. I wouldnt worry to much about the rears though.

yes i agree the rear wouldnt matter that much but, when you order springs dont they come as a set of 4. besides they probably need replacing.
