They are the same as the yellow ones (cept the color)

so in 07 did the 5.3's get the older blue stripe ls6 springs? he wants to leave the stockers in there because he thinks they may be the old ls6 springs. but i don't think they are good to 560" lift.

in 05 gm put the ls2 timming chains in all the motors across the board. when they did that did they upgrade to old ls6 springs?
