v8 sportlines on a v6

[slow6inslo]

will they work?

I am interested in getting the sportlines but can only find them for ls1's. I have kyb agx 8 way adjust shocks for the front (which came off a '99 ls1) and stock shocks in the rear....

Thanks for any help

as far as i know, dont quote me, but i think anything spring/shock wise is interchangeable between V6s and V8s...

you've been quoted....:jk:



yeah, thats what I thought also, i'm just having a hell of a time with springs. I ordered some and they are so far from fitting its not even funny and the company is convinced they are for camaros :dunno:

Thanks for the help though

yeah, I was lookin at those... $189. I think I might actually get them. I'm just sick and tired of dealing with springs, i've been trying to get some installed since March :mad:

god damn! i had no trouble at all... did a little hw, and went with the H&Rs and got some almost brand new V8 take of shocks ($25 per pair :cool: ) and did it all at once. the difference was crazy! im really happy with my springs so far

i d'no what a v8 sportline is... i have a v6 camaro and i've been trying to find things to do to it. are the sportlines just suspention upgrades from a v8 onto a v6?? ...right now i have springs in the rear, and every time i go over a pretty big bumb... theres this huge bang sound. it comes from the back right and im thinking that its a broken spring but im not sure...i gotta take the time to look at it... but does this sportline like replace the springs? man im confused... please fill me in. thanks :confused:

sportlines are just a kind of spring... made by Eibach i believe. just an eibach spring with a little lower stance over the regular eibachs

I cut my springs. They didn't settle as low as eibachs but either way with the stock struts in the front, they sometimes top out on hard bumps.
My friend but the sportlines on his lt1 hawk with almost brand new shocks and struts and he conatantly complained about the struts topping out.
I think you should get real struts and shocks if you're gonna get drop springs.

yes, they are made by eibach and they sit a little lower then the pro-kits

eibach sells kits for the v6. the v8 springs are gonna be really stiff on a v6. id get v6 springs and bilstein shocks.
