Are you sure they sent you the right springs?

Yeah,...double and triple check the part# with this Dropzone to make sure they are for your car, and also for a V6. I just finshed with some pretty detailed instructions in the PM, so make sure you check all those things, and have a second or even a third person there to help guide the rear springs as you let the car down.

If you arn't changing the shocks, relocation brackets and adj. panhard bar, you will certainly have problems with lowering it that much. As I mentioned, I used 1.5" springs on mine and it dropped 2 full inches. So if you're only doing springs right now, I would "HIGHLY" Recommend waiting till you can change the other things all at one.

I would hope not since they are twice the diameter..it should be pretty obvious which ones go where...
