Default Stock transverse springs for C6 Grand Sport M6

My location is NE Oklahoma. Due to the nature of parts (large and bulky), the closer the seller is to this locale, the better, but I'll consider anything if it works out. Thanks!

Have coil overs currently, looking for stock suspension springs (or zo6 springs) so I have the ability to change back if desired. I have a 2010 with fe3 rpo code, M6.

I'm assuming any GS from 2010-2013 will work. Educate me if you see something incorrect.

TIA

pretty sure I still have a set of springs, shocks, and sway bars in the attic. But I’ll need to go up and check and see if they’re still there and what the part numbers are for them.

Thank you. I see you are in NY

I am in NE Oklahoma, I am hoping eventually I can find a set local to just pickup, but who knows maybe shipping won't be that bad 🤣 ☠️

I have an entire rear suspension from my 2010 GS if you are interested in parts of it. I’m in Louisville Ky and don’t mind looking into shipping

I have shocks and leaf springs with all hardware from a 2006 C6 Z51 if you are interested.

Hmm, this sounds interesting. Trying to figure out all the differences in z51, GS, z06, zr1 🤯 what sway bars and what shocks could be used (DRM revalved bilateins?). You wouldn't happen to also have the sway bars from the zr1 also???

Guess you beat me to it!

Been a little busy and I still can't confirm what the zr1 springs rates are, augghhh! My biggest question right now is if mag ride affects the springs they used (softer, etc) this is what I am seeing from what little anecdotes I seeq here and there. Didn't expect it to be this difficult to find and compare springs between models...

I was just expecting someone to have a z06 or GS without mag ride and that'd make it easy lol, was not expecting to have to answer the question of z51 or zr1 springs ... if someone can point me to a thread showing precise info about zr1 springs I'd appreciate it! Already spent 3 hours or so searching forums and parts house part numbers and it's just not clear to me.

So, my current understanding is, zr1 springs are softer than z06 bc of the mag ride, which isn't what I'm looking for.

Thanks for reading haha
