Re: 1983 ws6 trans am
Sway bars (32/21 if memory serves) and springs.
Disc brakes are not related to WS6, they have their own RPO code. (J65)
Later cars had MUCH beefier sway bars and MUCH tighter springs; so even BRAND NEW 83 "WS6" stuff is totally outclassed by all the later stuff. Let alone, 30-odd-yr-old sagging wore-out typical crappy stock ANY RPO springs. While it might have been as good as it got in that year, it's a great example of how that RPO has been turned into nothing more than a buzzword for self-pleasuring.
