Default C6 Springs on a C5?

Anyone know if the C6 springs will fit/work on a C5?

they do not as the front springs on a c6 are like the rears of a c5. ie how the height adjustment bolts are setup.

Are you sure?
I have a set of C6Z51 springs sitting here in my garage that I've been told by a highly dependable source will work quite well for my 02 coupe.
Also told they're just a tad stiffer than C5 OEM springs and would be a good street match (not r/r) for some non-coilover adjustable shocks.
I already have the C6Z51 sways on.
Bought sways and springs as a set.
I'm going to wait until I can afford the shocks before changing the springs, do them together.

Good Luck

you got it backwards.
The c6 front is the same but on the rear of the C6 it setup is the same as the front. So the C6 rear spring won't work on a C5. I've owned both and did coilovers on both cars.
