1988 GTA with WS6 and 1988 Iroc comparison
 
Does the WS6 option include a different suspension set up than a 1988 Iroc L98? My reason for asking is that my GTA rides much rougher than my Iroc. The GTA feels like it has louisville sluggers for struts and shocks.

Yes, they do have slightly different suspension options, even when both are equipped with WS6. This is mainly due to weight.

However, its usually the IROC thats got the stiffer package.

It could just be that your car is worn out, the bushings are probably shot, transmitting more NVH to the cabin.

A GTA in decent condition is not an uncomfortable ride, firm, but not uncomfortable.

Thanks. The GTA does have more miles on it than the Iroc. Where can I find replacement parts? Seems like everything is one size fits all. Nothing is mentioned of WS6 that I've seen.

Bushings can be obtained at any auto parts store. Some are easy to install. Some not so easy.

Shocks could be worn if body motion is not controlled.
