Default Which Rear Springs

I've got a 92 RS that I'm doing a 4th gen rear swap on and I want to upgrade the rear springs. I dont think I want to lower this car so I'm looking at used stock springs. So do the spring rates vary between the 4th gen Z28's and the SS's, or are they all the same? Or do convertibles have a stiffer rear spring? Also LMK if you have any springs you want to get rid of.

Not true, although I don't know which ones have the different springs or not. SLP cars had different springs. But some SS's also had 1LE spec springs. Do a search on 1LE springs.. there is a few threads floating around that try to explain which models had what.
