Default Are 00 SS springs better than my stock springs?

My buddy just did a bunch of suspension work on his 00 Camaro SS. Would his stock springs be an upgrade to my stock springs? His stock shocks looked to be the same as mine if that makes any difference. I've got a 99 z28 m6

Same springs on both cars.

Here is a handy link w/ spring (and other) info:

FWIW I love my Stano springs on the street and track. Firmer but less harsh ride, faster on the road course, and look cool!

I'm going to have to agree with subtlez28, really nice set of springs with just the right amount of drop in my opinion and best of all they improved the handling of my SS. Function > form.

maybe/maybe not. Some 00's came with 1LE springs. You'd have to check the numbers on the tags to be sure. 1LE fronts are 360# vs 300# stock. 130-180# rear vs 114# stock.
