Does anyone know of the spring rate of the OEM SS springs. I have contacted my dealer and even GM and they told me that the info was unavailable. I have searched the forum and there is a lot of talk about spring rates but I never came accross the numbers, can anyone help?

Thanks

I just bought a 2011 SS and have been driving a 2010 LT for five years. the SS seems to be slightly stiffer in the ride quality. What is the spring rate of the LT springs?

I got my answer using the Nm to lb/in conversion (N/mm * 5.710143 = lb/in)

On the LT: Front 142, Rear 302.
