remember, part numbers doesn't dictate quality of performance
just because something says a big brand name like Eibach, or Corksport, or Full-Race (all of which do produce quality parts) doesn't mean that it is the best option
and if you read the post that raynman posted about the travel lengths you would realize that even if the website says it's for both (which it doesn't) that doesn't mean that it'll work for both...the strut assemblies are too different for the v6 6 springs to work on the ms6 properly
it only 'feels' stiffer because the strut assembly doesn't have any room to travel downward
here it is in layman's terms:
when you turn, the outside strut/spring expands and the inside strut/spring retracts...if the inside strut/spring cannot retract then the outside strut/spring cannot expand because the frame of the car does not flex...not only are you putting a lot of strain on the strut when you turn hard and completely retract you are also putting a lot of pressure on the inner valves of the strut itself...the car 'turns stiffer', but doesn't necessarily pitch the car into the turn in a very effective way, probably worse than the factory springs actually
it's your car, do what you want, but the members here do know what they are talking about and the only reason we mention this stuff is because the community would like to see our rare cars be fixed up right...we are not saying you are a dumbass, we are giving advice, if you don't want to take it that's fine =)
