Was there a limited slip differential offered from the factory in these cars? If so, how can I tell if mine is equipped without popping off the diff cover? It seems my car always leaves twin stripes on the pavement when I gun it from a stop.

Thanks,

Ken

If it's a posi it SHOULD have a metal tag on one of the rear-end cover bolts.

I have a car with ws6 and one without(supposedly). The only difference is the shocks and struts. I took calipers to the sway bars the other day. They are the same. I believe the springs are the same. Both cars have the performance suspension badge on the dash. I know my project car is a ws6 for sure(it has code for it) My good TA has no code sheet but on the door it list maximum tire size as being R15s It does not list R16s at all. I can't check the door on my project car because it ain't the original door. Does anyone Know my what the door lists on the ws6 cars?
