Look like they have different part # and different drop height between 90-97 4cyl and 95-97 v6 for Prokit. The front of V6 is heavier so the spring rate must be different from 4 cyl's.

they wont fit, i wouldnt bother, even the suspension on the V6 is different. The car itself measures longer than the 4cyl, i think the dynamics of the suspension because of weight and stance are what makes it different, i wouldnt suggest attempting this just because who knows what you could be damaging or could not be doing. Either way, good luck. Check in the marketplace forums on here homey if you cant find a good deal.

they will fit, its just the spring rate is different, v6 will have a higher spring rate because of the weight differences, so in other words it fits it just wont give you the drop it would if it were on a v6.

the only things that wont fit are body kits, since the v6 is slightly wider than its counterpart

I wouldn't try it either. Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't the stiffer spring rate up front make the car want to "push" more in a turn? If so, then I deffinately wouldn't.
