    Does anyone know what the spring rates are for std VB front springs? Also what thickness wire do the springs use? What about the FE2 springs-any idea what spring rate they are? (ps. done a search but this info doesnt come up)

    Hi,
    According to the GMH service manual:

    Model; Spring rate; Thickness/Guage
    L6 with Air; 26; 13.82
    L6 without Air; 26;13.5
    V8 with Air; 30; 14.20
    V8 without Air; 30 ; 14.03

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks Craigab. Any idea what that "26" is in pounds per inch?

    Sorry for the late response and incomplete answer.

    Gauge = mm
    Spring Rate = N/mm
