WS8 is the order acknowledged RPO, I am not sure of the exact purpose, but I believe it may have been due to something the dealer did when they ordered the car. Both of My 87 Formulas have the WS8, and one was a special order, the other was a dealership lot car when purchased.

It depends on the year, from 82 thru ( I think) 86 the WS7 was the WS6 with rear Drum brakes, For sure the WS6 was availble with Drums in 1987 as I have an original Drum WS6 car.

As okfoz has said.

WS8 = Priced Order Confirmation Reference Sheet.
