Z28 and SS Springs?
Is there any different between the two. The SS's I see are all a little lower than the Z28's. I'm looking to go lower, but not too much to the point where I need relocation brackets and a panhard bar. Will the SS springs offer a lower stance than what's on my Z28 now? Thanks!

LS1 SS's had 3 different options for springs. The base SS retained the Z28 springs. The optional Bilstein suspension came with progressive rate Eibachs, and the 1LE option came with even stiffer springs. The Bilsteins sit the lowest, but tend to sit lower in the rear than in the front.

Incorrect.
1998-1999 Camaro SS came with 360 lbs-in front springs, 190 lbs-in rear springs, shock selection between the stock (decarbons) and blistiens does not change the springs, the blistiens shocks are revalved for a higher rebound and a lower compression.
There's two different types of blistiens, the SLP blistiens (revalved to SLP specs) and the Blistiens HD (Heavy Duty)
2000 to 2002, the springs were now Z28 which is 280 lbs-in (around that) while the rear has 160 lbs-in because stupid owners (who aren't performance ortienated) complained to GM that the ride was too harsh in the SS suspension.
