Default V6 springs?

I'm sure I'm gonna catch hell for this...but oh well.

Okay my roommate has a 95 v6 stang and he's getting some lowering springs so he'll have his stock springs laying around. Would the v6 springs work on my cobra and if they do will it lower my car??? I'm willing to sacrifice handling cause the car is going into the garage and getting torn apart at the begining of next year.

I'm a broke *** college student and can't afford lowering springs.[&o][&o][&o]

just cut a coil off your stock springs if all you care about is looks... it'll suck, but it'll work.

interesting, i was under the impression shortened stock springs and stock struts/shocks would be horrible.
