LQ4 6.0 turbo swap in place, battery in the trunk. Tubular front upper arms with Delrin bushings, 90/10 shocks no sway bar.
Car has a nice stance, but obviously sits a bit lower in the front.
Will it be mandatory to switch over to a V8 spring up front? No trans brake, just foot for launches
Thanks!
 
Try it first... Can change later, if it doesn't suit you.
Mine had stock springs w/ the tube uppers, dbl adj Viking shocks, all around. I saw no problems.
 
I will get some road time and see what happens, don't hate the stance..... :)

If you like the ride, maybe add a 1/2” coil spring spacer to raise the front up an inch??
 
I use the stock 85 Monte Carlo SS springs for a car with the "handling package". Got them through rockauto. The ride is still VERY smooth. See picture for stance.

I also have LQ4/4l80

I never post on here, but I finished my swap 7 years ago and probably should've been helping more people.
