QUESTION ABOUT 4 Cylinder SPRINGS

[CONCRETEWARFARE]

I have a set of 4 cylinder springs that I want to put in. A lot of people reccomend them for better weight transfer but they say that it makes the front of the car sit a little bit lower. After a lot of weight reduction my car sits pretty high in the front with the stock v8 springs. Wont putting the 4 cylinder springs in and lowering the front actually hurt me?

I had a set on an 89 hatch that had A/C,heat delete and QA1 k-member.Sat slightly lower then stock,rode good and transfered weight good.Do it.

i kept them up front in my old coupe when i did a v8 swap into it. here's a pic of how it sat. no a/c, no smog, no sway bar, factory k member. oh and mine is the multi colored one. lol. and to do a comparison, the black one has factory v8 springs.

Im not worried about how it will look with the springs its the weight transfer that im concerned about. If it sits higher with the v8 springs wouldnt that be better? That way the weight is partially transferred already.

No,The spring diameter is smaller and the car rests lower,energy is stored and then released more as the car accelerates and the front end rises faster.I used new MOOG springs front for 4cyl w/air and rears were listed the same for 4/8 cyl.

I have a former 4 banger car with a 302 transplant. Stock springs. Looks like crap right now, you would need some different springs out back. I'm ditching them for some Mach-1 springs.
Good luck.
