    Default V8 and V6 springs is there a difference?

    As title says...

    My mate has super lows and shocks for a V8 VS and we want to put them in my VS V6...

    Would V8 springs in my V6 sit higher than the V8 would have been?

    Ok, so how do you think the fronts would sit? About the same as what just lows would be?

    That is a Superlow spring to suit a V6 VR Commodore.

    VS is KHFL-47SSL, so it is not quite superlow height for a VS.

    v8 ones are harder/stiffer if im not mistaken to help with the extra weight of the v8 compared to the v6
