The front will stay higher than the rear. The only way it'll be even is if you add 300 lbs to the front of your car (the weight difference between the I4 and V6), or switch out the front springs for 4-cyl ones. The back springs are the same.

Ay, just trying to bring a laugh to a totally aggravating occurrence. I figured; crack a joke, but if you'd rather I pig pile like often happens here, I can do that too.

Yup, the V6 is that much heavier, even worst on the earlier versions (they were iron blocks).
And in answer to your question, they are not going to settle anywhere near what you'll need.

When I first ordered my Neuspeed Sports, they accidentally sent me V6 springs, and I didn't notice until I was done installing them. I rode around like that until the correct springs came in a month later. (I was a little pissed it took so long to get the correct ones, so they sent me the new springs w/o even trying to ship the incorrect ones back. So I still have the V6 springs sitting around.)

Anyway, w/o the right springs, you're going to keep on having that boat look... Trust me.

no, I have yet to take a picture of the car since I bought it in '99. But the gap is pretty even right now. Maybe even ever so slightly smaller in the front.
