Need help with RPO codes. Please help
The Label which shows the RPO codes doesn't list Z51, but i have read (i forgot were) that if your vette has 2 turns lock to lock you would have Z51. Another thing is i have the delco bilstein shocks which are another component of the Z51 package. On the label there is FE1 (suspension, soft ride). Can somebody help me with this?

You might have a Z52 which has all the component you mention. less than 2 turn lock to lock and Bilstein shock. The label inside the console should also show either Z52 or Z51.

If your (matching) RPO label says FE1, then you have the base suspension. If it was equipped with the Z51 package, it would have the FE7 heavy duty suspension.
But you can always get stiffer springs, bigger brakes and thicker sway bars. :)

89's incorporated many of the 88 Z52 pieces. This is one reason 1989's, any model (but esp. 6 spd cars) will be of more value in the future.
According to the book "Cor-Vette specs", the author feels it may be the best C4 made (1989's) :thumbs: :cheers:

Hello Damien . Long time no see ....
Your corvette has the base susspention just like my brothers , thay came with the same options ! the only difference is that my brothers has the 6 way power driver+pass seats and yours is with manual seats ! I have an RPO list from your corvette , I got it from a friend of mine ,he was interested in buying it way before you bought it and I remember that your`s came with FE1 .

W82 and Z31
Anyone help on these two?

By the way Z51 suspension is listed as Z51 on the sticker. I'm walking out to the garage now to check on it. Hold on, I'll be right back. Yah, it's listed as Z51 on the sticker.
