what extra parts does a ws6 have than a regular trans am

 

Mostly Suspension parts........

Later

 

Nothing extra, just upgraded shocks/springs/sway bars and a badge on the inside of the car. Oh, and WS6 emblems on the center caps.

 

Are we forgetting the WS6 logo on the map holder pocket in front of the passenger?

 

16in rims
36/24mm swaybar
A few people have found wonderbars on them but they're probably not factory
Better springs, shocks and struts
Maybie harder bushings
I think the WS6 said 305 on the side of the buldge on the hood and the others didn't?
Did it come with rear disk brakes or was that an option?

 

Discs were an option, at least on the 88 Formulas. Mine was drum.

 

IIRC mine said Tuned port injection or something like that but nothing about the WS6 on the hood bump

 

My map pocket didn't say WS6 on it. As a matter of fact, I didn't have a map pocket, just a vinyl covered rectangular place holder where the map pocket would be. I used the old Map pocket from my T/A since I put a 95 Dash in that car.


I also changed some of the colors and seat covers,

 

would i be able to put 4th generation ws6 suspension on my 3rd gen firebird

 

WS6 was the RPO code for just supension option upgrades ONLY on certain Firebid models. It was nothing like the Camaro 1LE option. Basically it was really nothing to brag about.

 

i dunno, i like how my formula feels vs a FE1 opted car. the third gen WS6 is better than the 4th gens as the rates were decreased on everything vs the third gen WS6. as for 1LE it was the option that brought us the PBR brakes. it wasnt as popular as the WS6.

 

Not as popular but it came with better stuff

 

very tru but when ya find good 1LE stuff, oooouch on the price!
the 1LE was the best thing to happen for the disk option, saving us from the crappy iron calipers.

 

If you have a 350 1989 model with BW 9-bolt or swapped in 89 rear (like I did ) you got the 1Le rear brakes. They were the 11.655 dia rotors with the aluminum PBR calipers

Note: these brakes were on BW 9-bolts with the 2:77/3:27/3:45 rear axles.

 

you could have a 305 and have disk and not all borg rears were disk, there were some drum borgs out there as well. one of the fellas i know that lives in canada has one with drums.
