I need to trade my low Eibach springs back for stock on my '02 SS convertible (just-installed remote mount STS turbo & pipes too low).
I need to know if 4th gen Z28 and SS springs are the same and interchangeable or if I need to find some specifically off an SS to trade.
Also; is there any difference in years? Convertible vs hardtop?
So far my possibilities for a trade are; '98 Z, '02 Z, '00 SS.
Thanks.

 

You can use any of the springs from 93-02 but since you are in an LS1 car (different weight rating on springs then LT1 car) you should get the springs from a 98+. The SS springs were a higher weight rating so they were stiffer to improve handling but you don't need to use them if you don't want to or can't get a hold on some.

 

Get a take-off set from SLP. Not much difference in spring rates really between Z28 and SS

 

GM changed the springs mid-2000 so that base model SS's came with stock z28 springs. the springs on 96 - mid 2000 SS's are significantly harder.

 

98-99 SS/Ws6 recieved 1LE Springs...they are worth your while

 

Yeah and some 00s. 01s and 02s received the same springs as the Z28s (unless an optional suspension was added) but still received revalved decarbon shocks and bigger front sway bar.
