Default C5/C6 Composite Leaf Spring identification by part number

I picked up some used leafs a while ago and want to confirm what they are before I install them. I figured you guys would be able to help with this. There are two numbers, one engraved/molded into the spring and one on the sticker with the bar code, I listed both below.

Front: Engraved 22171750, sticker 22178729
Rear: Engraved 22200944, sticker 10302917

Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, on another thread the rear spring I have has been identified as a C6 Z51 spring according to this website.

http://www.corvetterecycling.com/product_p/22200944.htm

The front however, has been identified as a C5Z front spring. So the question is...is that the same spring as an C6 Z51??

I know they both have a rate of 526lbs, but are they the same spring?

OK I figured it out. Both numbers have been superceded by GM.

The front spring number is for FE3 sport suspension manual and automatic transmission from 1997-2012.

The rear spring number is for FE3 sport suspension manual and automatic transmission from 2005-2012.
