B4Z is the code for IROC-Z

the code for custom seats means the seats with headrests and cloth door panels, instead of the 1 piece seat with vinyl doorpanels. Power seats were a separate option.

All camaros had computer selected springs.

Both Z28s and IROC-Zs had Z28 emblems on the exterior of the car. IROC-Zs should say so right under the Z28 on the dash emblem.

Also, if it is an IROC-Z it should have the rpo for 16" wheels, as well as a decal on the drivers door specifying such.

Hope this helps. There are a lot of other things you can check too, but the above should be enough.

If your car is an IROC-Z, it should also say Z28/IROC-Z on the dash.

The car should also have a 'wonderbar,' a steering box brace.
