Default Interchangable springs

Hey all,

I always read through the E-series forum as I have a standard EF2 fairmont. I also have an XD V8.

Any way, I am wondering if the front and rear suspension springs are interchangeable between EB and the EF.

Cheers guys.

Front and rear are different lengths and spring rates.

Don't forget that front springs on V8 models are a higher spring rate than the I6 equivalent.
There is no difference between the rear springs on V8 and I6 cars though.
