Default Stock LS1 Valve Spring Specs

I recently broke a ls1 valve spring, and need to know the specs for a replacement valve so I can get the car running properly again. I have a 2000, ls1 6 speed car and it's got a stock cam. I'm assuming the years have different cam specs and whatnot, so please inform me of the correct details so I can order the right part! Thanks!

valves are 2.00/1.55 and you do not just change one spring you change them all. Put a set of LS6 or LS2 springs on and you'll be gold.

Would I need to change anything for those springs to work?

I agree, the stock springs weaken with time/miles anyhow so this is a good time for a replacement. I used the LS6 springs when I rebuilt my stock 241 heads.
