Part #'s for OEM springs

As said, I'm looking for the GMPartsdirect.com part numbers (GM) for the OEM springs, front and back. I have a 94 1LE , however, I think all the LT1 cars had the same springs.
Reason, I've got Eibach's Pro Kit on, and it sits way too low, having problems with my shocks. Eibach won't help me out to see if maybe their drag launch springs got packaged in a pro kit box. Basically, it's all my problem, so I am going to say go to he## to Eibach and get their junk out from under my car.
Thinking instead of putting the old springs that the car has been on for 8 years, I'll get brand new OEM's.
Thanks

SLP would be your best bet for a new set of springs, $42.50 for a complete set of four take of springs. I'd bet that is going to be a lot cheaper than GMpartsdirect.

I would not want to bet you on that. Forgot about SLP's take- offs. Good idea. Thanks

There were a multitude of springs used. 1LEs had stiffer springs. If you want to go with plain, old springs, you can get take-offs cheap from SLP if they still have some.

I think you want:
(2) Front springs (360 lbs/in): 22132887
(2) Rear springs (130-170 lbs/in): 22132889

A way to tell what springs were on your car from the factory is to use the RPO sticker. Find the 2 digits that follow 6, 7, 8, 9 on the sticker. ex. 6NM, 7NM, 8TH, 9TH . The second and third digits indicate spring rate.
6=L frt
7=R frt
8=L rear
9=R rear

If you have ever noticed, there is a 2 digit tag on the springs. That should be the same code that makes up digits 2 and 3 of the 3 digit RPO code.

Over the years, some old spring part numbers may get superceded by newer ones.

OK. That was my next question. I will check those out tonight, not that I want to see the prices. But, I've got a 1LE, might as well put what's supposed to be on it, right?
Thanks alot guys.
