Leaf spring identification. Suspension gurus needed!
I need a little help identifying the leaf springs that I recently acquired. I bought leafs, sways, end links and shocks for an amazing deal. I just needed/wanted the shocks and metal endlinks for my C5.
Here's the problem.....
I was told these came off a 2013 Z06 but I'm having a very difficult time confirming that. I'm putting these up for sale and I don't want to mislead anyone.
So......
First of all, can someone confirm these are indeed C6 leaf springs?
Secondly, are they from a Z06?
Sorry for the upside down pic but the stamped numbers are:
22171750
22200944
The stickers are nearly worn off but I can make out the last 5 as 62579 on one of them.
Thanks in advance!

Appear to be Z51 springs, according to this thread:

If you want to research more, just Google each number. Most of the hits are for Corvette Forum. There was another thread in the C5 section that ID'd the 71750 as a C5 Z51 spring, which had a slightly lower rate than the C6. So I don't know exactly what you have.

Trust me...I googled it.
From what I gather the stamped number was reused or carried over by GM. I got everything from a C5Z to a C6 Z51 when I searched one of the numbers.
I was able to make out the number on the torn sticker that's pictured. The number 25962579 comes back as the rear leaf spring for a FE3 equipped car i.e. Grand Sport, Z51.
I'm a bit confused because I have verified that the shocks and sways are indeed from a Z06 and I bought them all from the same guy at the same time. Not that it holds weight but the seller swears they are out of a 2013 Z06.
From my understanding, Z06 suspension is the FE4. Is it possible there are FE3 equipped Z06's out there or am I being naive and don't want to admit I was duped? OR is it possible, like the stamped number, that the sticker number is misleading?

2008 Z06, took them out myself
- 22200990, Tag: 25909895 (NGP)
- 22200996, Tag: 15233392 (RJX)
Maybe they came out of a GS and he thinks it is a Z. I find it interesting that the sticker does not show any part of a Barcode and looks old for a car that is not even a year old.
