yeah admin has something to do with it. F41 cars have different spring numbers then non. so goes for the shock. SS's have an whole other line of shit. you coul have gotten SLP rated Eibachs in 1999. there is a TON of spring differences. But keep reading about part numbers ill keep changing the parts.

maybe look for a low mile newer spring set I think its more of the age of the car being 16yrs that they're squashed because they only have 60k on them.

SLP is not GM, they are an aftermarket company. You want SLP parts you order them from SLP. None of their packages had an associated GM part number because they are not factory parts, although the last few years they were factory installed. But I will guarantee you a V6 car and a WS6 from the same year have the exact same rear springs.

Yeah OK, well if you can't figure it out than get yourself a unicycle.

Anyway Klab, looking for WS6 springs won't net you anything, the shocks and sway bars were different but the springs were the same so any 4th gen spring will work, although if you do just reas stay away from 1LE springs since they are lower, or do all 4. If you have sag it is more than likely the springs (like you thought) so you can get a news set for about $100-$110 from most places on line or look for a low mileage set of used ones

i've owned and ran every gm/slp spring shock combo...any questions ask me....i have ws6 shocks and springs with 25 k on them....easy way to spot the difference is the rear ws6/ss shock is fatter than the z28/firebird trans am ones. both are orange decarbons. the fronts you cant tell the difference unless you look at the part numbers which 8/10 is wore off or rusted. rear gm v6 shocks are the same as z28/trans am(none ws6) ones. the 98-02 ws6/ss/trans am/z28 springs are all the same unless 1le. they have different part numbers but are same springs rates etc...slp is a whole different ball game. there is two different slp bilstein/eibach combos... ive had them both as well and are running the one of them currently. also ran the 1le koni's as well

v8 and v6 springs have different rates you can tell just in the ride from my v6 to my v8 and by the specs that the v6 is about 30lbs softer I believe, maybe more
