how many ws6 trans ams where made in 1983 and what made them a ws6 mine has 4 wheel discs and bigger front and rear sway bars on it

 

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.

 

I am also curious how many WS6 Trans Ams there were in 1983.

 

In 1983 WS6 WAS related to the disc rear end. Remember, no SPID sheet until 1984. WS7 was the non disc brake package with the same suspension.

Here is a fun thread on that:

What do the wheels on it now look like? Thanks.

 

Here are the optional wheels for the WS-6.
