The WS6
The WS6 package first appeared on the Pontiac Firebird in 1978. It was a wheel and suspension upgrade at first and added rear disk brakes the next year. The Ws6 option disappeared with the introduction of the Gen 4 Firebird and was reintroduced in 1996 for both the Formula and Trans Am.
In 1997 the Trans Am WS6 was build by SLP Performance. www.slponline.com The upgrades for the WS6 over the Trans Am are:

- Freer flowing exhaust system
- Higher rate front springs (360 lbs/in)
- Variable rate rear springs (130-180 lbs/in)
- Stiffer front and rear shocks
- Harder bushings
- Larger diameter front anti-sway bar (32mm)
- Increased cooling
- 17 inch wheels with 275/40ZR/17 tires
About Me
I am a long time software architect and engineer. But I have always been a car fanatic since the age of 3.
I have been a fan of the fourth gen Fbodies since they came out in 1993. This WS6 is my favorite and third one.
