What's the difference? Between the suspension on a 2002 WS6 T/A and a 1998 Z-28 camaro? I swapped the springs and shocks out on my Z-28 this past weekend along with the springs and shocks out of my buddies Trans Am. I couldn't tell a difference between the two. Our sway bars were the same, springs looked the same, shocks looked the same, etc.. So what exactly does a WS6 performance suspension consist of? I've always wondered this since I used to own a 1998 WS6 Vert before my T-top Z-28. His is a true WS6 too, has the Code in the door for proof along with the SLP sticker.

Front bar on a WS6 is 32mm vs. your 30 if they weren't different either someone put a 32 on your car, or took it off his. Springs are the same.

I don't see how 2 mm could make that big of a difference in handling, the cars feel the same to me. Mine hasn't been changed, Devin bought his car used last year though so anything is possible.

23% stiffer because of that 2mm... Bar stiffness is a function of the OD to the 4th power.
