stupid question

[daves2000ls]

does anyone know of any springs that wont lower the LS but are stiffer than stock?

 

[beaups]

dave why not just get stiffer shocks?

Only way to do that is to put rubber spacers in the spring. I did that on my lowered LS to prevent rubbing on my 19" wheels

uhm, im pretty sure thats what he is asking.

 

[JES_LS]

no he is asking for stiffer springs that will yield stock ride height. The shocks (which is confusing when the all the online ford catalogs call them struts) don't set the ride height the springs and their rates do.

What diameter are the coils of the ls?

What about the Euro suspensions did they have stiffer springs?
I know that euro suspensions used much stiffer shocks but what about their spring rates?

I know that after my trip through TN and into the western corner of NC, I would not want to loose any ride height.

The difference between Sport, non-Sport, and Euro is all in the shocks; the springs are the same.

rubber spacers? would you (or anyone else) care to elaborate?

Okay then, why when I went to order the Euro shocks from Team fords online catalog did it need to know if I had the purple or green springs.

Also a couple of other thoughts

does anyone else know the difference in the v8 front spring rate versus the v6 front spring rate? also how much stiffer are the eibach springs?


And
What is the inside diameter of the stock ls springs?
If it happens to be something common, I'm sure that we could source a better spring from some race oriented shop.
