Base v. Z51 v. Z06 leaf springs
3 different kinds? Or do the three versions share 2 versions of the springs?

To the best of my knowledge, base unique to itself, front and rear, my opinion WAY TOO SOFT....LUXO RIDE. Z-51 same front spring as Z06, slightly softer rear leaf. I changed to this setup, I like it a lot
Z06 same front as Z-51, stiffer rear spring by about 65-70lbs. Open invitation to any Hard Core Corvette experts, please correct the Ford boy, if he's wrong.

It looks correct to me. The rear Z51 spring is said to be ~10% softer than Z06 spec. The adjustable suspensions (F45 & F55) also use the base springs.
