4th gen front springs won't fit a 3rd gen, at all. Only the rear springs do.

Re: 6" of fender gap ?
so I've driven around town a bit on short test runs & the cars not setteling any more, still sitn about 4- 4.5" in front.
I guess I'll take it in to get it fixed maybe cut a coil off or put in sum V6 springs ?

Re: 6" of fender gap ?
From what I understand, the LS1 is only about 30+lbs heavier than the 3.1 v6, so regular v8 springs would be too strong. For the same reason, you can not but v8 lowering springs on a v6- they just sit too high! Could it really be THAT simple?
