If you got springs for a V8, your car would ride higher in the front than what's advertised. As you said, it's cause of the weight.

 

if you have a v8, you really dont want v6 springs, but if you have a v6... v8 springs wont kill you. But i'd say get the applicable springs.

 

oh ok. thanks.
even though i owe a ton on the engine and crap like that....im putting aside just a little bit for other mods(i can afford just a tad).lol.

 

ive actually heard of v8 guys getting v6 rear springs since they are softer. helps the car squat on the launch

 

hm, i guess i just assumed they would squat to much. Would those work in the front too?

 

cool. my buddy tried to get me to let him heat my springs today. i was like umm NO! do iLOOK like a ricer??

 

no, you will not want v6 springs up front. they will be too mushy because they arent designed for the weight of a v8. the idea is you want a solid plant, but you want weight transfer. there are probably people around that know more about suspension than i do but i believe what you want is a softer rear spring, stiffer strut, and a stiff front suspension, all in all the effect being the car rocking back, but the tires being unable to bounce

 

cool. and do you know about roughly what kinda 1/4 mile my car would run when it was stock? 98 3.8

 

i think high 15s usually. ur still basically stock based on your sig. a new engine is just a clean slate, wont be faster than a maintained old engine. and catbacks are mostly sound. you will not get a statistically reliable gain in the 1/4 mile.

 

yeah i know imbasically stock i just meant a very very basic statistic. now my next question...is it possible to get my car at consistent mid 14s possibly a HIGH 13 time??? with no power adders? all motor? i dont want to drag race, i just want to get it on a dyno and be happy when i come off. i would be happy with mid 15s to be honest with you.
