you sure? i just want to know for sure thats all, have you swaped them before and saw no change?

JD_AMG

Don't need to swap them to know. The WS6's package didn't include springs, only a front sway bar and supposedly 'better' shocks.
What you are probably seeing is the stock 16" wheels are leaving more of a fender gap than the 17" WS6 wheels do.
If you want a cheap "fix" search "heater hose mod".

I always thought that 96-some 00 cars got different springs (1le content) but the mid 00-02's were regular V8 springs.

I think this is the wrong information. I am pretty sure the WS6 has higher rate springs. Don't know if it makes a difference for ride height though.

well theres 3 stock ws6's in my area. ALL are stock and all are lower then mine............... sombody has got to know this info FOR SURE. i appriciate opinions but fact would be great. i dont want to "lower" my car, i just want it to sit like my previous cars (2 prior ws6's)

Stock Gm springs - f BODY V8 - 1998-02:
Front = 290 lbs
Rear = 114 lbs

1LE springs:
Front = 360 LBS
reR = 130 LBS

robertbartsch

...According to the spring chart I have, the regular GM spring for v8 f-body cars and the 1LE spring should result in the identicle ride heights, however.

I think the 1LE rears are progressive from like 130-170 by the way...

The WS6s I'm pretty sure have the same springs as the normal TA's except for 1LE models..... I don't know exactly. Wasn't the later model 1LE packages made by SLP?

I don't think SLP ever touched the WS6, it was ASC. It's a diff. story for the camaros...

could be mistaken though but that's what i got

WS6_00

iTrader: (10)

Higher rate front springs (360 lbs/in)
Variable rate rear springs (130-180 lbs/in)

This is the same info I have seen.

well my buddies car is stock suspension and he runs 6.12 in the 1/8 weve been working on it for a couple years now and i love the way his car works. hes got a ws6. i guess alot of it could be that a girl owned my car and its a auto so it doesnt have a history of bieng run hard and lauched hard so that could account for the springs bieng so "strong" in the back. no wear and tear sag.

WS6_00

iTrader: (10)

or maybe the previous owner replaced the springs.......

aftermarket suspension thats dialed in > stock suspension
