Default Is there any difference between WS6 springs, and regular springs from a T/A or Z28?

I've got a 98 Formula WS6, and was wondering if the WS6 package included stiffer springs. Anyone know if my springs are any different from a regular Trans Am, or Z28?

IIRC, the springs are the same, the shocks are better/different (take that with a grain of salt). From a performance standpoint, they are awful. Why do you ask?

I know the DeCarbon shocks are supposedly better. I asked about the springs because I recently changed them out for some Eighbach springs and will be selling the stock springs. I basically just wanted to know if they had any additional selling points, thats all.

Thanks for the info.

What's the mileage on them? Lower mileage will make them worth more as sometimes guys go back to stock (especially with some of these turbo systems that go UNDER the k-member).
