Spring rate-Three letter code conversion
I'm looking for a chart that lists springs by both rate and three letter (broadcast code) label. I have seen one chart that lists spring rates by model and RPO code (very informative, my thanks to the author), but I need some help decoding the spare springs I have lying around the garage, and individual springs I see at swap meets.
Thanks,
Mike

I sense an attitiude. Good luck with your search.

I've got the info you're looking for. Just let me know what the codes are on your springs, and I'll let you know for what year and suspension package they are for.

Z-07, maybe you can help me also, I have a front NYR and a rear HMP. I cant remember what I took them off, I think 84s. Thanks for your help. Frank

I'm interested in finding a chart of the 3 letter part numbers too - I'm looking for soft spring from a 94-96. (to replace the hard ones, Z52, on my 88)
The Hib Halverson chart shows various combinations of coupe/conv F and Z ratings are all different, it would be good to know what the 3 letter prefix is for the soft springs which are rated 60N/mm front and 26N/mm rear.
ZO7 Freak, can you help me out too ?

Stingraynut,
26.0 rears are code RHZ
The code for the 60.0 fronts is a little tricky. I believe it will have either code HA or JA. The 60.0 front spring is the only C4 spring I can not confirm 100%.

Thanks Z-07 freak, appreciate that. Any clues as to how I can get the front spring code ? - especially useful to me here in Australia, I don't want to arrange shipping of a spring and discover it's the same or worse than my 90N/mm
