diff 6potter n 4 potter spring

[SuperUnknown]

fellow sifus,need help to undrstnd dis.wat is d diff btween a 6potter n a 4 potter springs?n hw do we identify it?

6 potter springs are a bit stiffer in the front, to compensate for the 6-cyl engine's extra weight. If you install the wrong set, your car won't be level. ID by part number/codes on the springs, or by looking at the donor car.

Hi there..i don't think converting the engine could make your rear end high, I don't really know, but m40 is a lighter engine, so it cannot make your car 'terjongket'...
Btw, what year is your car?

Eibach....

The rear spring for 4 pots & 6 pots will be the same. Only front is different to compensate heavier 6 pots engine. One probability is that yr rear is still using standard set up. The best is to get a mech to take it out.
