Hey guys i was just wondering if there are different size springs for the 6cyl and the v8's ? The reason i ask is that when i bought my coupe it came with an extra set of front and rear springs and the clevo :) The extra set of rear spring are the same as the original ones on it.It had a 6cyl in it when it was last running but at some stage it had a v8 in it !
Any help much appreciated .

V8 front springs are slightly thicker and are stiffer. As for the rear springs, some V8 rear springs had an extra leaf in them but not all. I'm still running the 6 cyl rear leafs in my coupe. Haven't had any problems.
