Question ws6 springs

are all 98-02 ws6 springs considered 1LE (with rear spring rate 130-180)? and ive searched but really not a direct answer i was looking for, but with spring rates (drag use) you want a stiff spring in rear and soft in front... is this right? i plan on doing the heater hose mod for the rear and was wondering if theres a mod for the front also without buyin Koni adjs or other shocks. the reason i ask is because i want a lower stance but not too extreme because of LTs ground clearance. i have on there now 93-97 v8 stock (spring rate 310 front) but i have a v6 93-97 pro kit lying around which has spring rate 337 lbs/in for the front i could throw on, but it would be easier to sell the pro kit with all 4 springs and the v8 stockers have a lower spring rate.

Boy, I would like to know the answer to this, too- I swapped back axles out of a wrecked WS6, and took the springs and shocks as well- the shocks definitely had a larger diameter. I like the stance I ended up with, a little rake to the car-

I also snagged the front sway bar, could tell it was a larger diameter. I think, the panhard rod, too- Weren't the WS6's supposed to use higher-durometer bushings?

Ya need lighter all the way around.
"bout $1000.00 worth of shocks-Koni double adjustable,maybe QA-1's
Lower the car 1" maybe 2"-and relocation brackets on the rear housing,good torque arm,LCA's and tires.
Ya can't worry 'bout dive and drag race too. Start stopping earlier.
It will never hook HARD and be a corner carver too.It won't be undriveable either with the correct stuff.
