Should be fine, as long as they are both beam then they are interchangeable.
Dunno if there is a rate difference on the v6 though?

we've driven 150 miles today........
the heater went cold last Thursday........
they check the level when it's serviced don't they?"

They'll be fine, the front may sit a little higher than in his due to the weight. But there isnt that much difference between an ecotec 16v and v6 cavaleir to worry. If cheap enough then go for it!

Springs in question were off a 2.0 8v LS hatch I used to have not off the v6 if that helps.
