There really isn't much "suspension upgrade" to the WS6 package. Only thing was a 32mm front sway bar with stiffer bushings (to replace the 30mm base V8 bar). Otherwise, the only thing about a WS6 that improves handling over a base V8 is the 17x9 wheels and 275/40 tires.

Ride height will vary some from car to car. My '98 sits 3/4" lower than my '02. Both have stock springs.

Also, they do not come with a full 1LE suspension. Some of the eariler cars ('98-early '00, as mentioned) did get 1LE springs, and all of them ('98-'02) received the 1LE front sway bar with bushings. But that was it, no rear 1LE bar nor any other 1LE bushings or mounts.
The only LS1 F-bodies to ever come with Bilsteins were SS/Firehawks that were ordered from SLP with the specific SLP-valved Bilsteins.

This is not correct. The '98+ WS6 cars did not come stock with Bilsteins (they have Decarbon shocks just like the base V8 F-bodies).
