Default Factory LS1 spring specs

Hello, I am looking for the specs on the factory LS1 springs. I'm looking at using these in another application, and need to know:

Recommended installation height
Coil bind height
Approx seat and open pressures

If I can determine they will work, these will end up on my bracket car's vortec heads.

Thanks for any help in advance.

P.S., I work for a Chevy Dealer and GM's Tech Line was no help.

No problem, I'm just not sure if the 2002 LS6 springs are realy good to .600, I've read other places they may only be good to .575.

Well, I'm only running .465" lift, but my installed height is around 1.720", so I think the LS1's just might work.

Thanks again for the help!
