WS6

I know this is a dumb question but I was wondering what is different on the WS6 Third gen from a regular third gen and is there a difference in the WS6 and an IROC?

I don't know all the specific mesurments but, the ws6 got posi, larger swaybars and 16" rims?? I think they even got the harder rubber bushings from gm wich is not much but, helps. gm lists there bushings by color they are still black but, have color marks you can see when they are new and out of the car. I can't think of what else but, I am sure thats the most of it the Iroc should have the same plus the wonder bar.

WS6 did not get posi or rear disk standard.

WS6 from 85-92 up, not sure about before that, was stiffer springs, 16x8 inch wheels, 245/50/16 tires, 36mm hollow front sway bar, not sure about the rear but it was big too. I think that's it, the IROC got the wonder bar to make up for it's smaller front sway bar, I think an IROC's suspension just depends on the IROC, WS6 has really stiff springs though.
