I would venture to say V8 springs would be stiffer. I put V8 Sportabout springs in my Hornet Hatchback. I hope you have the proper spring compressor cause they are impossible to change without it and even with it it is a dagerous job. I can tell you that there is a big difference between disc & drums. One of my 74 Hornets has drums and the other has disc's. I have a disc set up off of a 79 Concord that hopefully I will put on the drum car this spring.
