89 Formula/WS6 suspension question
Hey everyone. I'm new to the third-gen scene, so bear with me if I ask something that is probably obvious to many. 
I'm in the process of buying an 89 Pontiac Formula from a friend and while doing a little research I found that some/all (?) of these came with WS6 suspension. Is this true? Is it all or some? How would I tell?
Like I said, I'm new to 3rd-gen stuff, so forgive my lack of knowledge... but what is the difference between a WS6 setup versus a regular one? What did they improve/add?
Thanks in advance.

More aggressive tires too I believe. Mainly just an improved handling package.

Look at the RPO code sticker in the center console (if it still there). It will have lots of three letter codes. Look for codes "WS6" and "QLC".
WS6= suspension code
QLC= Z rated tire code
...and if you happen to find a code "1LE", please email me...
