See my other post where I recently bought a "little-old lady" special 4dr with a 200v6 http://www.maliburacing.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=98411

The front shocks are shot. My 79 2-door has a factory F-41 suspension and I always liked the way it drove it handled. The 4Dr is mainly to get me to work and back, but I'd like a little stiffer ride where it doesn't wallow about down the road every time you hit a bump. I was wondering if there was any difference between the shocks made for V8 cars vs. the shocks made for V6 cars, and if this would help raise the slightly-sagging front end some and also stiffen up the suspension. Don't need nothing fancy.

The shock will not raise the sagging front end. You may have to replace the front springs.
