what's the difference between the z28 and WS6 or SS springs

my friend has 97 WS6 and he is getting new springs put on and I was thinking of putting his springs on my 93 z, will his springs lower my car and how much will improve my handeling.

No, they won't lower your car, ride height should be pretty much the same. The WS6's have higher spring rates both front and rear, and combined with properly valved shocks, can help improve handling.

I don't think there is any diffrence unless he has the 1LE suspension. I bought my SS with the 1LE package and it has a 1" drop.

I assume you are referring to the ride height? There is a definative difference in spring rates, with the WS6/SS/1LE versions substantially stiffer.

I'm pretty sure there is a diffrence between the standard SS/WS-6
and the 1-LE.
