    V6 rear springs question

    Quick question for someone here. How do V6 rear springs compare in ride height to my WS6 rear springs ? Lower or Higher. I have BMR rear springs on my car right now and they are to low in my opinion with the spacer on top also. I kept my original WS6 springs and was thinking about putting them back in with out the top spacer and using just rubber hose. Or use a set of V6 springs which might help my car a little at the strip.Ride height is most important. My cut out hits when ever I hit a bump or a dip in the road.

    I think they sit higher personally.
    But not by much.

    Ok, I bet they do set a little higher. I think I will just put my original ones back in with the hose mod instead of the factory spacer and see how it sits.

    Really? I've parked my T/A (non WS6) next to a v6 before and the damn thing sat lower than my car. Then I got the BMR springs and get to enjoy flat Texas...

    they sit lower

    the spring rate is different so they compress and are lower.
