    Default v8 front springs in v6?

    hey all, i wanna put my old vq front springs into my vn ecotec..

    Just curious how much height difference it will make?!?!?

    In the vq on my 17" rims on full lock it'd eat treat lol.. the wheels sat just under the guard lookd tough but bumps made them hit the guards while turning...

    Any how they'll sit in the vn?!?!?

    Cheers

    They will sit slightly higher than the V6 ones. You really need to consider the balance of the car. Stiffer springs on the front will tend to make the car understeer more.

    You can always give it a go and see how it sits/drives?

    the differance between stock v6 and v8 springs is coil thickness, on king springs etc, theres not a lot of differance between the v6 and v8 lowered springs.
