93 lx 2.3L Any suggestions on a set of lowering springs I can put on now, but will still work with a 351w later? Will 5.0 springs work? The stock spring ratings are little stiffer on the 5.0 than the 2.3.

The front of your car will just be a little high! and stiff
Just cut a coil or two out of the 4cly springs
i would just wait till i got the motor that was going to live in the car then pick out the springs.

The 351 will probably sit nicely with the stock 4 cyl front springs

I have a set of 4 cyl springs in my 82, with a 5.0, and they have 3/4 of a coil cut.
They are probably about 1/2 to 1 in lower than I would like.
