RS / WS6 differences?

I found a 91 WS6 Formula for $150. What I want to know (other than the obvious sway bars), are there any differences in the suspension? I am mainly interested in the front (tie rods, end links, center links, idler arms, etc). Thanks.

The WS6 is going to have bigger sway bars, stiffer durometer suspension bushings and springs, 12:1 steering box.

Unless the RS has F41 its going to have a pretty soft suspension. Even then, F41 is still not quite on the level of WS6.

I found out that I have F41. What is that exactly. I drove what I beleive to be a non-F41 car, and it was SOFT. I hated it. Would the WS6 springs be better than Eibach Pro-Kits?

tie rods, end links, center links, idler arms...all the same.

ws6 springs i believe are slightly softer than the eibach pro-kit...and the springs may be just as wore out as what you currently have..

ps- im dissapointed with my pro-kits stance.

I have them already. Stance is ok, but they need to be stiffer IMO. I also need stiffer shocks/struts. They are CRAP. Monroe sens-a-nothing. I mean, they were good with the stock springs, but the Eibachs killed 'em.
