T1 spring Part number/ Casting number questions
Hey guys, quick question:
I'm selling my old T1 springs, and in raised lettering on the springs are the numbers: 22188479 and 22188480
The GM part numbers for the T1 springs are 12480063 and 12480064
I found this information from the forums:
What I/the buyer want to know is why GM has different part numbers/ casting numbers. And under scrutiny by an SCCA official, will they know that these are legal T1 springs?
Thanks for the help

FWIW The raised casting numbers embeded 22188479 front spring and 22188480 rear spring seen in the T1 springs have been confirmed by another forum member who received T1 springs from GM.

I just made my last post to complete the resource. I have old springs and the new springs appear to use the same casting numbers. I have not heard of old springs vs new T1 springs. There was a rear T1 swaybar change where the old one was not adjustable and the new one has 3 adjustment holes. The front T1 bar did not change to my knowledge.

I asked Jeff Kopp at Superior measure the rear bar end to end for length, (same) and measure outside link mounting holes (same). The 'new' holes are inside the old bar mounting holes, therefore, the adjustablity is firmer only. Would have been nice to have a softer option too.
