Anyone running Bilstein HD with stock LT1 springs on LS1 car
I have a brand new set of Bilstein HD's for the front of my car. My car is a 99 Z28 and I no longer have my stock LS1 front coil springs, however I can get my hands on a set of LT1 front springs really cheap. How would this setup work? I am not looking to make the car any lower or do anything spectacular with it. I am not going AutoXing or anything like that, just trying to turn the car back into something I can drive comfortably on the street. Will these make the car higher or lower than stock in the front? I know the spring rates are different but I didn't know if the actual height of the springs is different (I had heard LS1 springs were taller). Someone please educate me as I know little to nothing about street suspension.

This will also depend on the weight of your car as well (if you took anything out or added anything).
Otherwise should be a comfortable setup with decent handling.
