    damn right it would but you would probably need a tape measure to tell

    Rears are the same but the fronts are a firmer spring rate and will sit higher. Generally it is one size up....so an SSL V8 spring will sit like an SL V6. But....don't go by the part numbers such as SSL SSSL etc to determine whether they are super low or ultra low. They will differ depending on the model you have.
