    I have searched and read and read...
    I don't see one definitive answer...

    Will V8 Eibach Sportlines fit on a 2.3 n/a?
    If they are advertised to drop 1.7 in front and 1.5 in the rear would I at least get 1inch on front and back? I want to do this cause I found this guy selling them cheap, and I'll be 5.0 soon. If this will work, what shocks do I use for now? My 2.3 or 5.0? I thought I read that the 5.0 shocks won't fit the mounting holes on 2.3 suspension...

    Thanks,

    They'll work. You'll probably just have to live with a nosebleed stance while the car still has a 2.3 in it. You'll get the advertised drop in back, but it's hard to say what you'll end up with up front.

    And just keep your factory struts and shocks. Not much sense in changing them since there's no big difference between the two.

    I could have sworn that I saw a drop kit for the 2.3 out there somewhere
