Lowering Springs for V6??
Hi guys! I'm looking to find where I can get the right lowering springs for my car...finally YAY! I'm looking to have it done this weekend so I need to try and order them tonight. I'm looking to spend less than $250. Any help would be greatly appreciated

The springs for a v8 work for the 6.. since it's basically the same car. I am not aware of any v6 specific springs.
I have the steeda sport springs. I am very happy with the ride and improvement in handling. I also did not have to make any adjustments after the spring install. You can see a few recent pictures in my signature link.

Can you find some v6 specific springs? The steedas I installed lowered the car as much as they advertised.
You will not have a problem.. in fact.. most springs are listed GT/V6.

I would NOT put V8 springs on a V6, because V8's have a few hundred pounds on the V6's

That was my concern...the weight ratio for the GTs due to the heavier engine. I'm afraid that with GT specific springs, my car may not sit as low as I'd prefer since it is a light car. More input please? But thank you Sandman, your car looks great! We'll see what I end up gettin

I found some H&R springs for a V6 that I'm interested in. They seem to have good reviews like the Eibach. By the way, I have junk in the trunk already...2 10"s

The springs listed as V6/GT are compromising something

Put some junk in the trunk if it sits too high.
