check this: http://www.ws6zxr.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=37721

this was my reply: This is from the 2001 dealer brochure:

WS6 package includes: Ram Air induction, tuned suspension (I believe different shocks and spring rates but dont quote me), dual outlet polished exhaust, power steering cooler, 17" specific wheels;
10 speaker monsoon cd stereo standard

this from this site on the suspension differences, I think the "stock" package was not variable spring rate and bars not as big:
http://home.houston.rr.com/sethndawn/WS6/specs.html
Specific Tuned Suspension:
63N/mm Spring Rate - Front
23-30N/mm Spring Rate - Rear
46mm DeCarbon Rear Shocks
32mm Anti-Roll Bar

The base that the airlid sits on is also slightly higher on the Ram Air cars.

If you really want to make it look like a stock WS6 some of the 98's had a single flat cut crome tip coming out just the driverside outlet, and the others have one on each side
