well the front springs only are generally used on v8's but for a fairly serious drag setup, all 4 banger springs will give some pimp *** nasty weight transfer.

the fuel pumps are the same along with most of the interior stuff but the rear end is a weak link, plan on replacing it with an 8.8 one.

I wouldn't use 4 banger springs on the street as the extra weight of the V-8 engine will cause both braking and handling problems on the street. Nose dive under heavy braking with a V-8 would be nasty to say the least. The sway bars are also smaller on the 4 bangers too. for street use, I would get the entire suspension from a V-8 donor car and start from there.
