Default Drag launch springs question

I was wondering, if the drag launch springs for the LT1 models will work in an LS1 model. I don't see why not but I thought I would ask to be certain.

Sorry to hijack... but are you seeing any difference in driveability or performance at the track with these springs... or am I better off with my stock springs?

I don't know the spring rate on the springs but the front are a turd to put on they are so tight.I had them on my car for about 6 months and they would transfer so hard at the track that i could'nt get traction.That was a good investment for the money.

It should raise the rear a bit. If the right side is higher check how much air is in the bag. Thats the only thing I've run into with them, however its been only on mustangs.

They will raise the rear about an inch. Make sure the rear springs are on the right sides, they have a RR and LR on them.
I run around 5lbs in the RR airbag on the street and experiment with different psi at the track.
