Default V6 Springs

I was wondering who is running them. Are they better then getting lowering springs?? Do they work get better 60' times?? I just want to know. I have eibach prokit and was wondering if V6 springs would perform any better.

Putting V6 springs in the rear will make the car squat more on launch.

I think that pre 1997 V6 springs are different than V8 ONLY.

V6 springs will not lower the back of the car.

Yeah prostock is right, all 98+ V6 springs are identical to V8 springs in the rear. <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

So are the springs worth swapping out? Will they increase 60ft times and et?

Depending on what mods you have, I believe they may help a mostly stock car w/good sticky tires. John, you ran these, what were the results from "stock springs vs. V6"? WJ. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

In the early days I noticed I would 60 ft about half a tenth better than a buddy of mine who had similar mods.

On the street the car would work a lot better, I was able to outhook a Mustang on slicks, albeit he did not do a good burnout and he came out too hard. But I think I cut a high 1.6 on the street which is pretty good for cold asphalt.
