springs as well, are they stiffer?

Yes the springs for the V8 have a slightly higher rate with correspondingly higher damping in the struts to control body movement.

Slightly firmer than the V6 and drops the rear about 5/8", my front just came down 1/8", but that gives it a level ride- just like the SS!
