im pretty sure the WS6 sit lower cause they have different suspension and they are a little heavier depending on options on either car. i know my ws6 when it was stock was a little lower than my friends regular trans am and his sisters formula was a little higher than his.

Keep in mind on the trans am's you have side skirts, and the formula's do not so it may look lower because of them.

All car seem to sit a little different, probably due to the amazing quality control GM is known for....there are lots of different variables though, such as weight, worn components (spring isolators/mounts), etc.

A side profile pic and a picture of the springs/description of them would help the most.
