Looking for C7 Spring rates
From what I can see, there are at least 7-10 different spring part numbers for the C7. Does anyone know what the spring rates are for any of these springs? Not interested in C6 numbers, they are different part numbers all together. I am kinda surprised this info in not already stickied on this forum by now.

the reply....
"
I would like to help you however I am bound by the non-disclosure agreement I have signed with GM to not disclose any technical information regarding Corvette springs. If I were to give you this information I could lose my job.
I will actually be at General Motors tomorrow for meetings and with your permission I will pass your contact information over to the Engineer I will be meeting with. I can’t promise that she will contact you but it’s the best I can do at this point. If you would like me to do this please send me your phone number and I will pass it on to her.
Regards,"
kinda what I expected...the search goes on....thinking the z06 springs might be a good upgrade....

WOW....over 200 views and nothing....well the search goes on...
I found out there are different part numbers for the springs on the Stingray, Stingray auto, Z51, Z51 auto, Z51 magride, Z51 magride auto, Z06, Z06 auto, Z06-07 and the Z06-07 auto...........That is a different part number for each spring(F&R) for each level.....that's 14-16 different springs depending on what site you look on...that is some crazy suspension tuning....The rub is no one knows what the spring rates are for these springs.
BTW...springs are less than $200 and they use one spring for both sides....so for about $400 you can change your springs....if you knew what spring rates you had
Why am I asking these silly questions? if you know your spring rate, your motion ratio and wheel rate...you can get shocks tuned for the springs for about $100 a corner.... soooo for $800 to $1000 bucks you can have a custom tuned for your tires suspension....
