Default Leaf Spring Question Urgent

I have a 1997 corvette, my front leaf spring is slightly cracked and needs replacing. I want to know if the c6 or c6z06 leaf springs are interchangeable? I need to make fast purchase on ebay. Any info is greatly appreciated.

No. You would need to run C5 Z06 springs. Change out BOTH springs if you upgrade to them, otherwise just get a stock replacement

Contact Vette Brakes & Parts in Fla. They can hook you with an appropriate improvement in springs. If you go to different than stock springs, front or rear, you should also consider upgrading your shocks.
