Doin' a u-turn
I have an I6 car and I have a brand new V8 suspension. My signature says I'm moving towards V8 but i have a sprint 200 and now I am thinking of leaving it more or less original.
The question is, will the V8 suspension still work in terms of ride height, stance etc with the I6 drive train? ... when I ordered it I just got the v8 version and I'm not sure of all the diference in parts details.
Any help?

The geomotry won't change, but I believe the tie rod ends will, and you'll have to figure out what to do with the springs. V8 springs will leave you at a much taller ride height, and cutting them down will give you a very, very stiff ride.
On the upside, it'll be very easy to add factory disc brakes to the v8 spindles.
