Man 1LE springs are a pain the ***. Thanks for the heads up. How can I tell by looking at them? If I am at a yard or something? Or having pics sent?

What are these springs that came off this '98 SS I parted out, I know it was a true SS car. The fronts had this marked on them:
SLP 45/96
95 SLPF 300/450 A

The rears are just plain black.

I'm VERY happy with the QA1's that I recently purchased. You might consider them as well, adjustable ride height, three different spring rates, adjustable shocks. They're very nice.

P/N Wire Diameter Number of Coils Outside Dia. Free Length

(Stock) 22077195 .570" 9 4.59" 15.5"

(NOS) 22197228 .565" 9 4.56" 15.5"

(NOS) 22077196 .570" 10 4.58" 15.5"

(1LE) 22132561 .580" 9 4.52" 13.75"


To identify the rear 1LE springs look for a plastic spacer on a tightly wound spring coil near the top. This coil must be the progressive part of the 130-170 lb/in. It has the partnumber 22132889 it is also a good discontinued 1LE number. [http://www.gyrhead.com/special.htm]http://www.gyrhead.com/special.htm[/URL] , Has the rear spring.


To identify the 1LE front spring. Look for a spring that is shorter than stock by 1.75" and has .580 wire. I have not had my hands on the 22132887 1LE spring so I can't give you a way to identify it, but it should be similar to the 22132561.

My ride height is 28" at the front fender lip and 27 3/4" at the rear fender lip.

SLP offered a level I & II bilstein struts and lowering progressive springs. That is why they are marked 300/450 lbs/in.

SLP could tell you and the info may be on the door or glove box sticker.
