93-97
Front 377-600lb
Rear 94-160lb

98-02
Front 400lb
Rear 80-137lb

If you are getting revalves you'll be talking to Sam... He'll tell you what's best and will valve the HD's to match that specific spring rate. LT1 cars were heavier due to their iron block, that's why their spring rates are more. They will certainly ride stiffer on a 98-02 car.

ok thanks for the info i didnt know they would ride ruff, that would explain it. also to i figured since the lt1s were heavier that would explain why my fronts sit a little higher then normal. maybe i should get the right springs then.

Dude, you have to call me anyway.... I don't do Revalves by e-mail.

I'll answer all your questions (and take care of the SFC's you want as well).
