I had thought it was applicable to all the LS1/ LS6 's of a certain build date..
If I'm wrong, please correct me !!

Default springs
Thanks for the advise, one more question should I go with dual springs or a single gm spring and please what would you recommend and have had good luck with? Cheap price for peace of mind on a car I absolutely enjoy each time I get in it, thanks again for the help!
