Will a set of 05 GT 'vert springs fit on a 05 v-6 coupe? Will they change ride height? I am thinking they will be stiffer. Any thoughts on how much?

My understanding is that the front springs are designed to support the heavier V8 4.6, and with the lighter V6, your car may not level out well. I would look into a set of Eibach springs designed for the V6.

Just my opinion.

I have a pair of Gt struts on the front of my V6 along with the Ford Racing lowering springs.

We thought the front end would raise because the V6 engine is lighter than the V8, but we were wrong.

My set up only cost me $100, I bought the springs from a friend that worked in Saleen, and he hooked me up with those GT struts, and sway bars for free.

There's somebody selling a set on ebay for $100 too, but they are of different brands, the front springs are Sprints, while the rears are Eibachs.

I have Roush rear springs on my coupe along with GT swaybars and I'm pleased with the stance.
