eibach pro kit springs

[stangfreak2]

anyone used a set of eibach prokit springs from a GT on their v6??? i talked to eibach and the only difference is how springy they are..how much they absorb...but i dunno if this would be that much of a difference..any advice?
reason im asking is cuz i found a really good deal on slightly used prokit springs from a guy w/ GT ones...

Not very many companies offer a different V6/GT kit. They are the same. The GT weighs only a few Hundred pounds more so there should be any problems. I got Vogtlands and I got the called for drop with my car.

well, they are the same size, but the GT springs are more stiff...so im wondering if that will affect the ride quality in my v6

the front springs have to be heavier in the GT. Heck just the engine weighs over 300 pounds more. But I would have to guess the rears would be the same. How much can 1 muffler weigh ?

did you have to replace shocks/struts with your lowering springs ? I just ordered a full set and after the fact the distributor said I HAD to replace the shocks and struts or a 'dangerous condition' would be caused. The distributor also sells shoicks/struts. I have never heard of shocks being required for a 1.5" drop. I'm not going to installs the fronts for a while, if ever.
