Default WS6 verts whats not included?

Thinking of getting another 4th gen TA, this time a convertible. Just want to know the difference in WS6 packages between verts and coupes. Suspension,wheel sizes,etc.
Thanks

The only equipment difference between coupe and 'vert version of WS6-equipped Firebirds was in '97 where WS6 'verts received the stock T/A suspension package w/ 16" rims. That changed in '98 and from that year on, WS6 'verts and WS6 coupes got the same suspension / 17" wheels.

During the MY2000 run, the WS6 suspension was "decontented" and received the same spring package as the non-WS6 cars, but kept the thicker sways and 17" wheels. This change affected both WS6 coupes and WS6 'verts.

I'm not sure about all years, but in 2001, there were only 5 optional items on WS6:

Manual transmission.
Hurst shifter.
Traction control.
Pump up air seats.
12 disc CD changer.
