I have a 86T/A with a 305 tpi motor, it has the performance suspension badging, does that mean its a WS6?

 

Not sure, Just look at your RPO's, if it says WS6, u have it.

 

Does it or did it have 16" wheels? If it had 16 inch wheels from the factory its a WS6 car.

 

FYI, performance suspension badges came on those beastly 2.8 dashboards too

 

16" wheels are a good sign and so are rear discs.

 

It does have 16in. wheels and rear discs. 2.8 dashboards? Thanks guys!

 

The performance suspension badge was used in any car with an upgraded suspension... WS6 was top of the line, but there's always been a mid level suspension too, that also received the badge on the dash. Also the badge is $12 new and requires drilling three holes... not exactly hard to apply to any car.

 

What about checking for the 36mm front sway bar? If I'm not mistaken, it's the only hollow one and is easy to identify without measuring. You just have to look/feel for a small hole (approx 1/16"?) on the bottom of it near either end.

 

can you tell the difference between a 34 and 36mm sway bar? How about a 30mm and a 34mm sway bar? Even the tiniest sway bars offered on our cars are pretty large (front anyway), and a sway bar doesn't mean the car has the entire WS6 package.

 

True, I know that is isn't a failsafe method, but it's just another thing to check. Am I correct when I say that the 36mm swaybar is the only one that is hollow (I'm only talking stock)? I do know for a fact that it has a small hole on either end though. Both that I do have em. I'm suprised nobody has mentioned the RPO codes yet. Or maybe I missed it. Or maybe it's too obvious to mention...

 

 

I finally found my rpo codes, it says i have the ws6 option. my rpo codes was not in the spot where they should have been.
