shocks/springs are same as Z28. Wheels/tires will play a role in the handling also due to shorter sidewall. IIRC though the base SSs got larger front sway bars. I don't remember if the back did. I could be completely wrong though, but I think I read that the SSs got a larger front bar...

Talking See here - well , below , in the post body .

linky




I did no read the whole thing, but I think the later models - like '00 & up - had a less stiff suspension, unless the upgrades were purchased thru SLP.

RPO code WU8 on the drivers door sticker. If it ain't there, it wasn't born as a SS.

Did all SS camaros have a dash plaque that said "Camaro SS" or was that something that the dealers would put on some. I'm asking because I see a few SS cars on ebay that have it, but some don't.

Dash plaques are add ons. They are not factory issue on standard cars.

What he means is that it was an option on the SS - some SS cars have it some don't.
