no, they are actually different springs. I'm guessing it was done as a remedy for people complaining about ground clearance issues.Originally posted by nascarnate326 View PostWhy did they do that?
Is it because LT1 cars are older so they appear lower, or was it done like that on purpose?
My old V6 uses the same springs in the rear as an LS1 car, and parked next to my Z28 it sat about a full inch higher spoiler-to-spoiler.
EDIT: V6 cars from 93-97 didnt use the same springs as LT1 cars, they also sat higher.Last edited by JoeliusZ28; June 30th, 2010, 09:54 AM.-Joel
