I have a chance to buy a complete set of w6s springs & shocks for my 4th gen transam. Will these improve the cars handling or should I stick with the stock setup I have. Thanks.

Stranos and Konis > WS6 springs and shocks
If they are used I would probably pass. New in the box and not a bad price, then may be somewhat better than you already have.
Shocks aren't any different.
Pure shit either way. :lol:
If I am not mistaken, the springs are very close to identical.
ya the stock stuff is shit compared to aftermarket springs and shocks
only thing worth a damn on the ws6 over stock is the sway barQuote:

Depends on the year. Around Nov '99, the '00 WS6s began to receive the same springs as the standard T/A. Prior to that, WS6s got stiffer springs. I think the rears were the same as what 1LEs got.Quote:

The ws6 springs & shocks I've found are new in the box and priced at just $25. I figure they got to be better then the 15 year old stuff on the car with 138,000 miles on them. They are for a 00 model. I also picked up the newer brake setup from the same person with all needed parts included. Will rebuild calipers and replace hoses.
