Default front coils

did v-8 and 6 cyl. mustangs have the same coil springs?


if they didnt, could you put the 6cyl springs in a v-8 stang to lower the front end?

You're better off taking your V-8 springs and cutting part of the coil off. Start with 1/3 a coil and go from there.

James is right the inline 6 springs have a lower spring rate it would lower the car and make it handle worse and ride worse.
