Default (Or buy) High Rate C5 Front Spring

I have a VB&P front spring for my C5 at 1,112 lb/in. It is a little bit stiff for my particular setup, so I'm looking for one around 900-1,000 lb/in.

I'm open to shipping back, but Detroit Metro is preferred. I'm also open to purchasing if seller isn't interested in a trade.

Edit: I would also consider keeping my front spring and replacing rear spring with something around 900 lb/in.

I would be interested in buying or trading for your spring.

I have stock C5Z06 springs, which is probably too soft for what you're looking for in a trade, but I'll possibly buy yours when you find the appropriate replacement...

I'm in Novi.

You're right, but I'll keep you in the loop if I find a new one for myself.

I may be selling my set of VBP sport springs, if you have the extremes then you can see their rates on the website. I still have them on the car , but am thinking of going coilover

Sports and Extremes are just ranges of spring rates. There should be a specific measured rate marked on your springs. My front spring for example has K1112 marked on it for the rate of 1,112 lb/in.

I'd like to add that I'd consider a heavier rear spring in lieu of a lighter front. Something close to 900 lb/in would do the trick.
