What spring set up??
I have a 1994 V6 coupe. I am about to replace the engine with a EFI SVO 351W with a blower on it. The swap will not be for about a year due to funding. I am doing everything else now so I just need the engine when time comes. I want to put progressive springs on within the next couple months. I want Eibach. I would like to put the 1995 Cobra R springs (I think Eibach made them) on but not sure how my V6 will react to them till the engine swap. They are rated at like 700/850 front and all the others are like 400/650 front. Anyone know if I can put these springs on till then and not have it ride like crap?
-thanks Godbee

You dont _have_ to on the springs. I dont know for sure what the V6 wieghs, but it cannot be 1/2 of a V8... My point being that maybe 100-150# lighter, not 500# lighter. Personally, if I knew the motor was comming, I would do the swap now and save time for later.
Get aftermarket shocks to work with the new rate springs, NOT KYB (crap), but Bilsteins, or Tokikos, or Koni. Tires are the #1 ride harshness, followed by bushings, then shock/springs, so you'll be ok IMOHO.
