    Stiffer ride due to different spring rate.

    And your nose will be up in the air, rather snobby!

    The 4.0 is a heavier motor, so the springs will not be matched well to the 525. Not a good idea.

    it should not effect ride height(rh), in fact i swapped all springs and sway bars from a 540 sport onto my 535 and did the [1] rears first, raised it slightly,[2] sway bar front next, no change except better cornering feel, [3]rear sway bar next, a little better feel no chane in rh, then lastly [4]the front springs which lowered rh (about 3/8")and stiffened it up a bit.

    632 Regal is already supplying my springs... I'm having to redo the whole suspension due to the miles..159k. I believe that the shocks have never been replaced. You should feel the baby dance on uneven pavement. I brought the car with 77k on the dial..
