i was going to just put 4cyl springs in the front on my car, but i have found out its more of a band aide, so i just went ahead and bought the front k member w/ coil overs, now do you have to do this, no. the 351 is heavier, which like pro said its going to sit low.
i would recomend to buy the springs new, if you got some old springs, its going to sag even more.
