Post Help with WS6 suspension tag codes and numbers

Hi all,
I hope someone can help me decifer these springs.
The Rear Springs have on the tag - "NNU" and number 10305134.
The Front Springs have on the tag "ABT" and number 22197229.
Can someone verify if these are from a WS6 trans am?
I verified the rear shocks are for a 01 V6/V8 car. Did 01 WS6 just get regular shocks in the back?
Could someone look at the springs on the rear of their car if they have a WS6 or SS?
TIA,
James

Those are not '96-'99 or very early 2000 WS6 (1LE) springs. A '01 WS6 gets the same soft springs and soft shocks as a base Z28.

Hi,
Thanks for the help. Why did GM do that?
So the rear springs I have are the same stiffness as my 96Z28 springs? Only 114 lbs/in compared to WS6/1LE that were variable 130-170 lbs/in? That stinks.
What about the rear shocks then? Are they any tighter than stock trans am shocks?
Later,
James
