2002 WS6 Stock Suspension Vs 2002 Firehawk Convertible Suspension Hey everyone! This is my first post on this thread! Ive always been a fan of the 02 Trans Ams, and I'm Finally looking into buying myself one. My younger brother has a 02 Firehawk Convertible M6, and my god is that thing a blast to drive (for the record, he had no interest in Hawks/TAs until I mentioned them to him, so he test drove one and bought it, so I'm NOT copying him lol). The ONLY thing I dont like about the car....ITS TOO DAMN LOW. What suspension is on those convertible Hawks? Im looking at buying myself an 02 WS6 T-Top M6 and I want to lower it, but not have it scrape everything I go over. I was looking at Eibach Pro Kits, would those be a good enough drop to have an aggressive stance yet not enough to hit everything I go over? Thanks in Advance.
Ive gone to the LS1 Darkside....Im a Mustang Owner haha

It could be one of 3 things.
A. Factory suspension
B. Bilstein Ultra Performance Suspension System ( That's what my Hawk came with)

C. 1LE Suspension Package

Edit: or D. aftermarket springs

I think you can scratch "C":
New-For-Firehawk 1LE Suspension Package
This performance suspension system, now being offered exclusively by SLP, includes double adjustable Koni Shocks. (n/a on convertible or with Bilstein Suspension Package)
1LE suspension is back, and now offered exclusively by SLP. It includes Koni double adjustable front and rear shocks allowing you to "tune" your suspension to your specific handling needs. Front upper and lower control arms are tightened up with stiffer rubber bushings. Hollow 35mm front swaybar significantly reduces body roll. Includes revised endlinks, reinforced body mount brackets and firmer bushings. Rear lower control arms with firmer bushings reduce wheel hop under heavy acceleration. Larger 21mm rear swaybar and bushings decrease body roll. Package also includes Koni shock adjustment tool.
Cost: $1899.00
