springs for the I4 are not to be used with the V6 as the V6 is heavier and the springs will sit lower than you want.

it will fit but i think eibach's v6 spring have a different spring rate or even a tad longer length.

v6 motor=more weight in front

The rear springs are the same between the I4 and V6.

The front springs are different b/c of the extra weight of the V6 motor. I doubt you'll be able to find just the front springs, but you never know...
