I thought the WS6 option came with bigger sway bars than the ones listed. Try this on the history board they should be able to give some answers.

i thought WS6 had all four wheels disk breaks since the 70's..
bigger sway bars and spring rates and struts and blah blah..
i think what you have or the s/e's had is an upgraded firebird suspension just below the WS6..


i could be wrong..

Well the WS6 didn't all have 4 wheel disc brakes. That I know because mine doesn't. But you are right about bigger sway bars, spring rates, and struts. I thought the front sway bar was 36mm on a WS6 I could be wrong.
