Default 2002 Venture AWD Rear Coil springs, Which one?

I need to replace the rear coil springs on my 02-Venture-AWD Long Wheelbase.
However looking in to some parts dealers, there seems to bee an endless list of springs, with various codes.
For what I think, after decoding the parts-label, I should have:
FE4 6655 P SSP M SUSPENSION SYSTEM SPECIAL RIDE & HANDLING
YD6 31245 P SPRING RR, BASE EQUIPMENT
6HU 41745 P FLH M COMPONENT FRT LH COMPUTER SEL SUSP (6HU)
7HU 43041 P FRH M COMPONENT FRT RH COMPUTER SEL SUSP (7HU)
8NN 44546 P RLH M COMPONENT RR LH COMPUTER SEL SUSP (8NN)
9NN 45842 P RRH M COMPONENT RR RH COMPUTER SEL SUSP (9NN)

Now, I have found something that I interpret as correct:
Code:
SPRING. Rear. Rear Spring.
SPRING,RR(CODE NNN). Required: 02
For: B SUSP(8NN),(9NN) (2002-2007) (2002 - 2006).
For: U122(16) SPECIAL SUSP(FE4),SUSP(8NN),(9NN) (2005-2006) (2005 - 2006).
For: UT SUSP(8NN),(9NN) (2002-2004) (2002 - 2004).
For: UT SUSP(8NN),(9NN) (2002-2005) (2002 - 2005).
For: X122(16) PERF & HANDLING SUSP(FE5),SUSP(8NN),(9NN) (2005-2006) (2005 - 2006).
However, I'm not quite sure about it.

And by the way, can you recommend any on-line dealers in US that will sell to Sweden?
Here the springs seems to be made of gold with diamond inserts.

I checked with a friend of mine at a local Chevy dealership, and got the GM part # for you. It is #10306378. This should help you cross reference part #'s to other manufacturers. Try Rock Auto, they ship world wide.
RockAuto Parts Catalog

I tried looking up the spring for your Venture, but came up empty, but crossed to some different years, that had matching GM part #'s, it looks like you can use either of these part #'s below: I got them looking up a 2006 Chevy Uplander, the replacement model to the Venture. The Uplander uses the same platform as the older Venture.
ACDELCO Part # 45H2129
RAYBESTOS Part # 5891129

Good luck,
Mike

Thanks for the reply, that number corresponds to the one I posted above, so obviously that one should be the correct one.
RockAuto didn't have any, unfortunately.
I've found the springs at a company called Nalley, parts.nalleygmc.com
They charge for what I can see just below $100:- each totaling $200:- + transportation/postage. (and customs+VAT here in Sweden), still a good price compared to what I have to pay here though ($500:- each)

Good luck, the Nalley sight is pretty helpful. What about the part #'s from the later vans, '05-'07 they use the same springs on some models. Some GM #'s are different just because they are made at a different plant/supplier, no differences.
