Is there a difference from my 05 V6 LS to the LSE or V8 LS's? I put my Jag 18" wheels on to see what they would look like before powder coating them and now see I'm gonna have to lower it... Just wondering because a buddy of mine had an 03 LS V8 and his factory 17" look fine.
Suspension differences?

As far as springs? I think the sport might have had a stiffer spring.. but don't quote me on that.. all springs fit all years..

I thought you couldn't get Sprint Springs anymore? I found them on this site after just a google search...

Call them though.. the site usually lies..
They dont update their site. I have emailed various sites that say the sprints are in stock and they email me saying they no longer are and sorry for the wrong info. Months later, they still haven't updated the site and it still says sprints in stock

This.
I had even tried emailing sprint directly since it says you can buy them on their site. The email just bounces back as undeliverable. I can't confirm or deny, but it seems like maybe they went out of business?

Yeah they have them for a ton of applications. They haven't updated their website in years though. Thats what makes me think maybe they just closed up shop, but had a hosting contract that is still active and never pulled the site.

The 1 front and 1.1 rear numbers Eibach give are very conservative. I wish I would have measured mine but I know I got more then that

i would think it'd be the opposite. Aren't v8s heavier?

They may have different valving because of it though..

i see, that makes sense. Someone should compare them side to side.

They would probably look the same.. valving is inside the shock..

i mean the difference in ride height...v6 w/eibachs vs v8 w/eibachs

Oh.. lol
The stock shocks for the V6 have a different part number from the V8 LS's, for the front. The rear shocks have only 2 part numbers, base and sport per Gen1 and Gen2. I will not talk about the Euro shocks, no longer available.
