There used to be a bunch of different spring part numbers, but a few years back they went to one for V6-V8 cars and one for 1LE cars. I would think that the convertibles would have a different spring available. I will check this afternoon. I like to run a early Formula spring with an air bag on the passenger side (1.35 sixty foot times).

I had the dealer pull up a bunch of different years and body styles today. They only list one part number as a replacement for everything including convertibles! It must of been to much trouble for GM to stock all of the different springs. I guess that I better start searching the junk yards for the good stuff!
