I found the spring rates posted on ls1tech


good info
I think its sticky material, hence why I added it to the LTx Quick Reference Thread (http://ltxtech.com/forums/showthread.php?1210-LTx-Quick-Reference-Thread)


Sorry the spacing is off... its a pain to try to display tabular data. I may throw everything in a excel document and take a picture and host it on here.

only thing i would like to note is that LT1 springs sit lower than 98-02 springs by about an inch, front and rear.

I called SLP to verify that their SLP #7002 (http://www.slponline.com/view_product.asp?P=70002) was the same as the Blistien level 2 and here's the numbers the sales rep gave me. He also said it is the same as the Blistien level 2 package. They sell the shocks/springs individually as well.
I think he said 285-485 for the front and I forgot the rear but they were off a little as well.

Nice post. I was coming up with spring rates a couple weeks ago and didn't find that many...
