welcome to the site btw, got pics of your t/a?
Hood?
I agree. Do not order factory stuff to make a clone, upgrade instead. Only thing I would buy factory would be the hood and wheels (unless you want different ones).Quote:

I know about the hood and wheels but not sure about the suspension.
All of the websites that tell you what is in the WS6 package only state that it has upgraded suspension.
What is that upgraded suspension in comparison to the standard T/A? Am I missing any parts? What is bigger or better than what I have already.
thanks
The WS6 Pkg was $3150 (98). Besides the hood and wheels the suspension is somewhat unremarkable and the exhaust system is little more then a different muffler and tips.
For `01-02 Cars Just add a Hood 32mm front swaybar and the wheels and your done.
`96-early 2000 will have the 1LE Springs on top of that. All Decarbon Shocks suck no matter what model they were on.
And I agree that the money can be better spent on aftermarket stuff to put you well beyond a WS6 because that is what I did.

cross drilled rotors are another good non-drivetrain perf mod.
my first guess was clone too :rotfl:

True that, but the best hood out there is actually the GM Ram air hood. They fit perfect and almost zero hassles. Sometimes its just better to pay more on certain items.Quote:

It was done at a Chevy Dealers Collision center.
i was referring more to shocks/suspension, i agree as far as the hood goes, like i said, buy it used..Quote:

edit: the outlaw and ws9 are a little different the ws9 looks okay, the outlaw version is a little too extreme, the outlaw version isnt made anymore either.
