Do I need to change springs?

I have a 94 firebird that orginally had a 6 cylinder. I am putting in a stroker, are the stock springs on it not going to be enough with the bigger engine?

What are you planning on doing with the car? If you want great handling, you'll want stiffer springs. If it's mostly @ the drags, leave em in.
I still have very worn v6 springs in the front of my '87 and the front end height is still ok. It even handles better than I thought it would. When I do my front end, I just might go with new v6 springs and good struts.

If anything, I would probably go with the stock springs that went with the v8 platform.
