I was at the junk yard yesterday and found a z24 and a sunfire gt with front springs that had a green sticker on that said on the z24 "ACB 22209353" and the GT said "ACB 22197256" Are these lowering springs? They only had 4 coils compaired to the factory 5. I compaired them to other Js at the yard and they have one less coil. They were only on the fronts. Out of 100 or so Jbodys these two had them and no other mods.

Anyone?

Those are GM part numbers. Probably FE2 and FE3. They aren't some aftermarket brand.

Well I only found two cars at the junk yard one was the sunfire gt 2000-05 and a z24 2000-02. No there GTs or z24s had them there. They have 1 less coil thats what does not make any sense and it was only on the front. All the rears were the same. Were they an replacement that was redesigned? I have never seen them before. Even my fully loaded 2000 z24 had 1 more coil.

Give a call to the dealer. They can tell you exactly what they were available on and what package they came with.

Ok, I'm sure they will want a vin so next time I go back I will get them. I find it odd no one else chimed in. When I saw them I thought maybe I could score some lowering springs dirt cheap. It is not a big deal though.

They don't need a VIN. You tell them the part number, they tell you what it was available on. I've done it plenty of times. If the parts guy doesn't want to do it- tell him he's an idiot, and move on to the next number in the phone book.

The surprising thing is that your Z has more coils.
The Z/GT suspension is supposed to be a little tighter (FE2/FE3). In the rear, this includes a reinforcement to the twist beam. In the front, there is a difference in the control arm replacements that I never actually looked into, and a difference in the sway bar, but the springs having one less coil (all other things being equal) would make it a higher spring rate.
I wish someone knew the difference in the spring rates.

You ever find out if these are stock? I have someone selling some springs with the same label on it in a Eibach pro kit box.
Pretty sure they were stock. Eibachs with say eibach pro or Sportlines the have a number xxx.x or something like that.

Ok that's all I needed to know.saved me some money and time from not getting them, thanks.
