WS'6 suspension swap
 
I have a 97 z28 and i wouldn't mind putting the 2001 and up WS6 suspension under it.
Has anyone here done this and can you tell me what is involved.

Will the 2001 and up WS6 suspension lower my z28?

So far i have the LS1 front brake and spindle swap.
I really just want the springs and shocks from the WS6 but i'm not sure if i will need anything else. ex. panhard bar, sway bar, etc...
So please let me know if i do?

Unless the WS6 parts are new/ low milage id just go aftermarket for the parts and even get adjustible shocks like a QA1. You can adjust ride height with those shocks too.

Low milage and FREE!
I don't have the money to go new and i think the current shocks blow...

Should i still do it?

Not sure how good that would look since the springs and shocks are set up for the lighter ls1. Personally I wouldn't cuz I just see it being more problems down the road and probably a worse handling car

The WS6 shocks are still decarbon, so they still blow. Go aftermarket.

I thought DeCarbons were fairly decent shocks...

EDIT: LOL Nice updated quote Infinite
