Just like the title of the thread states, what are the differences between SS/WS6 Lt1 cars and standard z28's? Is there a difference in components or ride height?

Dont quote me on this...Bigger wheels were an option. A low budget SS just got better anti-sway bars. Level one got shocks also.. Level two got those and springs. Maybe someone else can chime in.

The springs are really just stiffer, not really lower. The majority of them had slp blistein(sp) shocks, not sure on the sways but i know they are bigger diameters.

I don't think the base springs were swapped, unless you got the level two suspension- then you got Bilstein shocks, too-

There were no internal engine mods- depending on year there were various exhausts available-
In '96-'97, you could get either 16" or 17" wheels, after '97 all SS's had 17" wheels-

Mostly cosmetic stuff- badges, plaques, different spoiler and hood-

I have a 97ss with the level 2 option. The springs have a higher rate and the car sits lower from 1/2" to 7/8". Similar to an Einbach spring. The SLP option (for level 2 gm option purchase) also had different rear jounce bumpers due to the lower spring heigth. I had alot of rear fender mods (sheet metal and cut/ replace the rear jounce bumper mount) to make a 17x11 rear ZR1 wheel fit. I do like the springs for throwing the car thru corners. The car came with an SLP booklet noting these changes and other options... (Hurst shifter - money wasted option/ rear axel Torsin diff - good torque bias but not good for FI apps.) Car has a rather harsh ride, but, can't complain about the cornering ability fun factor. B.

The front sway bar on SS/1le/Ws6 was 32mm and the rear was 21mm.The Z28 had a 30mm front and a 19mm rear.My 94Z has a 21mm rear and a 30mm front though it,s not a 1le.Btw i just bought a 32mm on Ebay so now i can correct the factories error.
