Default V6 Springs.
I did a search but couldn't find anything. Will V6 springs provide any kind of "significant" drop for a 98-02 F-Body?

Thanks.

They have a lower spring ratio. That's why people like to put them in the rears for drag racing. The softer spring helps weight transfer to the back. I personally wouldn't put them in the front. That would be counter productive.

Thanks guys. I know it is a softer spring, which should lower the car(I am referring to the rear only) but I just wanted to make sure. Anybody know of the approx. drop it would provide in the rear?

Thanks again.
