I was looking at a list of RPO codes what codes should be present to have the Z51 suspension package with an automatic transmission.
My car seems to have just about every options that was available and a couple of codes that are not listed that I have no idea what they are.

Not sure what you are looking for. Auto trans seems to be code M30 and Z51 was the RPO for handling pkg. Included special springs and stabilizer bars. G92 performance axle pkg required for auto trans, according to the Corvette Black Book. Here is list of options: https://www.corvetteactioncenter.com.../2002rpos.html

Well that was what I was thinking. But the list I was looking at does not list a Z51 code
It has the G92
I see it on the list that was provided. My car does not have that code.

The G92 RPO code is for the performance 3.15 axle ratio for automatics. If your RPO sticker does not list a Z51 code, then you do not have that option on the car.

Not sure what listing of codes you have looked at, but here are the RPO options for a 2002 that were picked up from another Corvette-related site. 2002 Corvette RPO Codes

In addition, this file contains some additional codes, some of which are simply for management purposes:

Tbair64

So here are the codes I have no clue about
BGR
FE9
IL3
SLM
VM3

glbeauchamp

BGR = Bowling Green Assembly Plant. The following codes are from 1993 so I'm not sure if they are valid for your year but seeing what they are I have no reason to doubt some of them still applied: FE9 Federal emissions certification. IL3 Interior trim design L3. SLM ?? . VM3 Information consumer label, bumper impact standards

Vetteman Jack

SLM Stock Order Processing Code(replaced 1AY, circa 2001

It's in the document I attached to my previous post.

Route99

BGR - Bowling Green Plant Processing

FE9 - Certification, Federal Emission

IL3 - Trim, Interior Design (L3) (Base w/AQ9)

SLM - Stock Order Processing Code (replaced 1AY, circa 2001)

VM3 - Label Information, consumer contains BPR IMP Standard

Thank you.

My car's RPO sticker also has the GU2 but also has MX0 RPO.
After checking it out on the highway it comes out to 3.15:1.
Strange.

Thanks

If the intent of your post was to ascertain having Z51 or not I wouldn't worry about it. WAY TOO MANY C5 owners seem to really think this is something special to have. It was special in 1997. In 2018 it's not. Nowadays either most C5s equipped with Z51 are rolling around on worn Z51 suspension components or there is so much available, that is in most cases cheaper to obtain that Z51 specific items, that outperforms the C5's Z51 package.

The only people Z51 will be important to will be whomever is shopping C5s in 2040. I lose no sleep knowing my car didn't come with Z51.

Tbair64

My intent was to find out what spring rate was installed on the car from factory. With this information I can make changes as I see fit for the purpose of my car. The z51 spring rate will fit well and not sacrifice street driving. I will be installing g c6 z51 away bars as they are a little larger than factory c5 specs and even a little larger than c5 z06 set up.

Phanni

I suggest using the Z06 Sway bars and shocks instead of the 'Z51'
They are a direct replacement (no modifications needed) and a better =value (IMNSO)

Tbair64

C6 zo6 bars are to stiff of a bar for my car.

COMPLETELY DISAGREE WITH THIS...Z51 suspension is special. It makes a difference in how well the car handles especially at higher speeds.

Didn't the Z51 package include a power steering cooler also.

You revived a two year old thread to tell us that? Seriously?
