PSS HOW'S YOUR EYE?

Just noticed this...

(I'm guessing that CoolBlue's Formula also has an "8UC" spring to go with the "9UC".)

In terms of the springs, (6RD and 7RD, and 8UC and 9UC) the numeric is replaced with an "A" (front) or a "P"(rear), when referring to codes pretty much anywhere but the RPO sticker.
IOW, you could have ARB, ARC, or ARD front springs and PUB, PUC, or PUD rear springs

Where I'm going with this is...

The coupe has PUD (the heaviest) rear springs.
The Formula only has PUC (mid-range) rear springs.

Both of them have ARD (the heaviest) front springs.

It would be interesting to see which cars, with which options, had heavier or lighter springs. I'm sure that GM had some rhyme or reason to their spring selection, but I sure can't figure out what it is.

Hmmmm...

this is the vin from one of the formulas in my town 1G2PE1194JP205224 it has black wheels, 5 speed, sunroof, red, grey interior

Here's the info on my 88 coupe.

Car is dead right now, but I plan on bringing it back to life with a SBC.
I can't read the ALDL, it looks like it starts with 03/24.

Weldon.

Bump.
I got another Formula. I'll get the info for you. I also know where there are 2 coupes and a formula that are being disected just for their front suspensions. I'll get the numbers on those next time I see them.

I hate to kick up an old thread but I have a new entry to add and I have seen a couple of others mentioning wanting to add to this list. I got an 88 Formula a couple of weeks ago. 1G2PE1195JP206480 Still alive and kicking sunroof 5 speed black rims. Red in color. Im going to be doing some interior work shortly and I will edit this post to reflect the date shown on the harness.

{EDIT} Got the build date and it is 8/10/87 I didnt have to even take anything apart the previous owner put it behind the drivers seat instead of the norm.

{EDIT} This car now resides at the Fiero Factory looking for a new home.
