so are you saying that my stock trans am should have a front sway bar then because it doesn't now wasn't sure if someone took it off. If so are you saying that it just wouldn't be as stiff?

Ok, this is off-topic, but I just noticed something in your sig torlak... Is that a picture of your dash, or someone else? If it's yours, I hope your oil pressure gauge is off because it looks like you have about 30 PSI @ 6000 RPM!

True, except most 2000 WS6 got the base T/A springs. I have read the cutoff was around 11/99 build date.
