Fitment will probably fit.

BUT, V8 springs have higher spring rate at the front (heavier V8) which will create wider gap on I-6 cars compared to the V8s.

So it's not recommended for 525 or 530 unless you want to see taller gap at the front

Thanks for the springs!

Got them today! Quick question did you install your springs or did you pay someone to install them? Just curious how hard it is and the pricing to let someone else do it.

I installed my H&R myself.

The removal is really straight forward but the strut is pretty long that you have to push down the hub to remove the strut/spring assembly (which makes it rather hard)
Trick:
It helps to loosen the control arm bolts and ball joints so the hub can be pushed down to for the strut/spring to clear the fender lip. Keep in mind suspension needs to be loaded when you tighten the control arms bolts back.

And also you need spring compressor to decompress the spring (Autozone has loaner tool or buy from Harbor Freight)

I kinda created a simple DIY:

If you can find someone to do it around $150-$200, I'd have someone else do it.

Are you willing to part just the fronts (struts) only? I may be interested if the price is right.

Double nickel $55 shipped?

Does your H&R Sport w/ Bilstein Sport handle a lot better than the stock sport suspension?
