I need to find some stock springs for my 99 WS-6. Anyone know where i can find them? If i can't get stock springs, got any springs that offer the same amount of drop/raise as do stock ones?
Need to know why the heck i need them? Check the pic

I like to use GMpartsdirect to look up the part number.
I only found one set of part numbers that works for the coil springs.......
Front: 22197230
Rear: 10305134
I would contact SDPC, the Sponsor ----------------------------------->
And ask if these are the appropriate coil springs for an LS1 Fbody. If they are, then order from them, because they are a sponsor and they will have a great price.
GMPARTSDIRECT charges $59 for each spring, and probably another $20-30 for shipping. You'll more than likely get a better overall price(including shipping) from SDPC.

Thanks, i really appreciate you taking the time to look up the part number. ARE YOU SURE that those part numbers are for a 99 Trans Am WS-6 ? I don't wanna be putting the wrong springs on. I'll take your advice and call to make sure. I'll end up ordering them for GMDirect probably. Should i call THEM and ask if these are the right springs or should i call SDPC? Thanks

Some guy is willing to sell me some springs. The front springs are WS-6 springs with like 17K miles on them while the back ones are FE1 with like 50K miles on them. He's asking $105 TOTAL, shipping and all. Should i take it?

I wouldn't, IMO that's too much, even for slightly used springs. Besides, how are you to know he isn;t telling the truth, ya know? Tey could be as you say high mileage. I dunno. I'm no spring expert.

Yeah, i'm going to go the expensive route and order them from GMPartsDirect.com. Even though they will charge me a hair under $300, it's best if i know FOR SURE what i'm getting and that it's worth it.

Sorry I didn't think about this earlier, but I would also try Dal Slabaugh or Jason Cromer. They're not sponsors, but they will probably save you more money than GM Parts Direct or SDPC.

They're well-known for their low prices in camaroz28.com and I have ordered a pair of 1LE rear control arms from Dal Slabaugh. They were nicely packaged and were cheaper than GM Parts Direct and SDPC.
