Lowering Springs V6 or 16V

Hi Guys,

I think i know the answer but just wanted calrification,

My Cally is originally an SE8 16V but is now fitted with a 3.0 V6 engine, the car is lowered 60mm which is too low and i am gonna raise it to 40mm, the question is which springs do i use - V6 or 16V, as far as i know they are the same just with different rates due to the extra weight of the V6 so i should be able to fit the V6 ones even though i am still running the original 16V suspension. Can anyone clarify this?

Thanks in advance,
BigG.....:D

v6 ones are diffrent from 16v as the v6 engine is heaver so i would go for new v6 ones, the shocks are all the same
