Hey guys, I was searching on the differences between the 98-early00 vs. the 00-02 WS6 suspension mod differences and found among the things that differ are the sway bars. So two questions:
1. I have a 2000 model WS6 and was wondering if mine was included in the "early" = good suspension mods. I think it has an August build date which I imagine is early but don't know for sure.
2. How much better are aftermarket Sway bars than the ones the 98-early00 WS6's came with?
Sorry I don't know much about suspension and all so try to keep it relatively simple, thanks.

August of 1999 build would be an early 2000. If you can see the part # tags on your springs, that could lead you somewhere.........Except that GM has 10 different part numbers for the same part. 22132889 seems to be the rear 1le/ws6 spring number.
Front could be a few different #'s.
I don't believe there was much else different to the early ws6's than shocks/springs/front bar. If you upgrade your bars, make sure to do your homework here on ls1tech.
