Any difference in rear springs?

I did a search but got an error back, so forgive me if this question is redundant.

My bird doesn't have the WS6 package so I'm planning on getting a set of WS6 springs for the front, but do I have to replace the rears? Did they change the spring rates on the REAR springs between WS6 and non WS6 packages?

Yes, they did.

When GM made the IROC or the Z-28 or the WS-6 conversions, it was a complete package of performance. Not just a sway bar or a different spring rate, but wider tires, harder durometer bushings, stronger spring rates at all four corners and both sway bars were improved.

If you get the chance to obtain a WS-6 for parts, get them all.

Yeah, I'm about half way there. I've got a 36mm bar up front and a 22mm in back along with GTA rims with 245's on them. Its pretty rare to find a GTA at my local salvage yard so I'm getting what I need off it.
