"CJ Springs" or "V8 springs on front and V6 springs on rear" ?

[ElSpa]

I know that the CJ springs are cheap and could be the most convenient solution....unless you live in Europe like me and instead of paying 90 bucks for them I could end up paying around 200-250 with shipping and taxes.

So:

I have a set of V8 springs and a set of V6 springs laying around my shop.
Should I go with the v8 springs on front and V6 springs in the rear and save myself 250 bucks ?
Or the CJ springs would be a better solution ?

Thanks,
Mihai

I have heard of people using the v6 springs... If that's a cheaper alternative for ya, give them a shot and if you don't care for them spend the extra coin on the CJ springs.

just for the rear or all around ?

I don't know how the v6s sit in the rear with the v8s in front... So I'm not sure on that one.

oh... didn;t mention it, i need the springs for drag like racing

There was a thread I was looking at the other day that had a picture of the how the LCA should sit in the rear for drag racing to get proper transfer of power to the ground. I'll look it up for ya. The CJ springs are a drag racing spring so you really can't go wrong there.... Do you have an aftermarket LCA and UCA setup in the car?

yes:

lower controll arms + relocation brackets + adjustable upper controll arm

Your looking for that kind of LCA positioning for the proper setup for drag racing. Are you running big and littles or just a set of Drag Radials?
