Poll: What are your spring rpo's?

I'm putting together a chart of the spring rpo's available in thirdgens. I need the year of the car, the model, and any special suspension info, ie F41, FE2, WS6, etc... The codes I need are the ones that start with 6, 7, 8, and 9. Please post them here or email them to me.

Thanks

Thanks so far guys. I've got 21 cars as of now with partial information. The more cars I get info on the more likely the conclusions will be accurate.

See this is what happens when you decide you want to know which springs are the best... I've figured a bit out, but I'm still working on GM's code.

I found mine for the 84 Firebird.. LG4, anything else you want to know I might be able to tell you, as long as its on the build sheet. There were only 2 digit codes on the sheet, so using your 6,7,8,9 for front rear left right, here it is:

6KR
7XU
8WA
9UZ

Why different ones I have no clue but thats whats on the sheet.
Ill see if I cant find the springs off my 86 around here somewhere, its not on the build sheet.

Got it:
86TA, fully loaded, WS6
6ZX
7ZX
8NB
9NB

I found the location on my buildsheet, but I don't see the 9NL that everyone keeps posting. Mine say NNL. If you can decode it, here's my build sheet.



Blocks 15 and 16 are the Front and rear springs in that order.

Scott, the reason you don't see 9NL or 8NL but rather NNL is because the way GM coded the springs themselves and the rpo's. 8NL and 9NL are exactly the same spring. Both physically are actually NNL springs. But GM codes them as 8NL and 9NL on the rpo's to distinguish the location of the springs.

This is really old and the project was never completed... GM used whatever springs they wanted in whatever car they wanted.
