I need to replace the ws.6 springs with stock. I can't find the little tab with letters that indicates my car's spring rates...how can i find that. GM can't do it with vin either.

See Sticky:

Check on your Door sticker if you see a 1Le Code then you have the 360# in front and 130-180# in back.

eh...i guess i messed up the question. Each spring has a 2 or 3 letter code that goes with them. There are like 6 variations....anyway, i need to obtain that code to buy the correct springs. The GM dealer said that the information from the sticky wouldn't help.

thanks for the attempt though-I'll end up just using the stock springs on my car.

Sorry, I just went and look under my car fortunately one of the springs still has the tag.

This is how it reads:
22197229

Hope this helps!

I'll check my wife's 00 Z28 and post it although I don't think that would help you either.
