Tom, this is from the 1980 Corvette Spec book;
Spring rate 172 N/mm (lb/in) with a footnote saying that the springs were computer selected for size and rate depending upon options selected.

Are you looking to replace it? I got mine from Eckler's. Always get the mounting kit with new bushings. It's not that hard of a job.
