FE2 and WS6 rpo codes???

I just aquired a 91 formula 350 top and I was going over the rpo list and it says it has FE2 and WS6. What is the difference between these?

the fe2 is for the sway bars and the ws6 might be for the formula option...my iroc has fe2 for the bars and b4z for the iroc code....gta and formulas i think got the ws6 code for the extra stuff with the suspension.

but that is not the only thing in the fe2 rpo, it also includes an "upgraded" power steering gear box

Some of the threads I'm reading are saying that the fe2/ws6 combos have 36 front and 24 rear swaybars.Were they different from some of the earlier years?

I didn't know this until I went to the parts store to get a new power steering gear, there are actually 4 different ones on a 91 RS alone.

1. RPO FE1 w/ soft ride
2. RPO FE1 w/o soft ride
3. RPO FE2, F41, Z28 , 12:1 ratio 2 1/4 turns lock to lock
4. Race only - improved valving and quick steer

I will be using the race only unit on my 91 RS, but only because of all of the other suspension mods I have done.
