Question 4th Gen Springs on a 3rd Gen

My brother-in-law gave me a set of springs for a 99 Z28.
  1. Will they fit my 86 IROC?
  2. What effect would they have on the performance?
Thanks

the weight and balance of the cars are different they might fit but they r not the same they could sag alot or be over tence which makes ur performance worse and ur ride height different

i choped my rear springs, and ended up not liking it because when the axle droops at full length they fall out... not good for safety and emmisions. i need to go to a junkyard to find new ones, so who know what vehicles besides the camaro have the same springs. my car is a 85 3rd gen
