Anyone know anything about this? I can imagine the weight differences in the cars wouldbe really different so rebound would be off etc.
However they do make full coilovers for cavis so someone get in here who knows |

well you know what, as much as the springs look identical, have the same mounts and everything esle the actual struts are two different part #'s
and the part #'s for the springs in the front from napa is not the same either so its either get them and try it OR ill eat my words and say im wrong

How could they be the same? J-bodys weigh like 400 pounds less than N-bodys... so the spring rates must be different, right?!

springs are springs, thats why coil over's are mostly universal for any car ( not all ) like the cheap $40 ebay ones. they j-body's springs look identical to what I have on my alero from the factory ones to the aftermarket ones I do know as a fact the front struts are the same but the rears are much longer then our cars
