How can I tell I really have WS6?



The previous owner told me the car had the WS6 suspension and I have no way of knowing. It's an 86 and the RPO's are missing from the console.

It has a posi rear with 4 wheel discs. Anything I can look for?

BTW, just from personal experiences, this car feels liek it handles on rails compared to stock f-bods.

Thanks,
Herb

As far as I know (I'm not a firebird expert), all rear disk cars were WS6 cars. But, even if I'm wrong, you can still check the front sway bar. I believe the WS6 had a 36mm sway bar. The non WS6 cars had a smaller one.

I agree. the sway bar is gigantic! I'm putting the WS6 from my formula parts car onto my camaro. It's worth it.
