Default Are SS springs different from Z28

I have a 94 Z28 and I am looking to replace the springs with stock ones. But I am putting on the car a set of 10 spoke SS wheels (17in) and I want to make sure this thing sits right. Any help would be great. People are telling me there is a difference in springs.

Standard springs on the SS's are Z28 springs.

There were other options offered, but if no factory suspension upgrades then yes they are the same.

98-02 Z28 and SS springs were the same. I believe your 94 springs are diferent however. Springs are easy and cheap to replace. Just get the right tools, otherwise they can be dangerous.

Your 245's are 26.6 inches high. That is the same as the 275's. So the car should sit fine with no changes required. Change the springs only if you want a little stiffer set up.
