Default I need some new springs but stock height.

I'm in need of some new springs but I dont want to lower the car as I think these cars sit low enough as it is.
So does anyone know of a company that makes new springs for these cars that keep the stock ride height? I have looked all over but all I can find are lowering springs.
Thanks guys.

Thanks guys, I looked at gm parts direct and couldnt find anything. The rockauto is a little hard to navigate through but I found some on there for my car.
Does anybody make a performance stock spring? that might be a dumb question but I wont know unless I ask I guess.....

i am not sure what you are looking for....a stiffer ride? you could probably find some used stock ones as well. i know i have a set of used stock ones.

what exactly are you looking to do with the car? if you're looking to increase your car's handling ability, the VERY first step you should take is changing the shocks.....good shocks (i HIGHLY recommend Koni SA's) are going to be the single largest improvement of any mod you can do to the car in terms of handling, bar none.

if i could only ever do one suspension modification to increase the handing ability (shocks, springs, sway bars, tower brace, 3-point subframe connectors, etc.), it would without a doubt be Koni SA shocks. i've got them. i love them. get them.

Yeah.. what's the reason why you want to change to a stiffer stock height spring? Sounds like you have a problem and are assuming a solution that will fix the problem. What's the actual "problem" you are having or don't like about the car?

agreed!!!

what sucks is that the set of KONI's cost as much as all the rest of the stuff you listed combined!!



sway bars made a huge improvement in my car...fwiw

but i'm guessing probably not as much as the Koni's did.

i actually put on sway bars before shocks when i started modding my car, before i knew any better.....but it was partly because the sway bars were on sale for a really good price at the time, too.

but knowing what i know now, first step: shocks

everything else is secondary

dont know why no one has said this but 1LE springs will allow you to maintain stock height but your spring rate will increase
