Default Re: 1996 owners (Mr Dave)

There are lots of GrandSports with LTPWS from the factory. The option code for the LTPWS is in my glove box. The option code for EMT's is not. As far as I know, they were two separate options. You probably couldn't get the EMT's without the LTPWS, but you could get the LTPWS without the EMT's.
Yup, mine has LTPWS and Z51, but no EMTs. (I know it has LTPWS because I've seen it work.) I believe EMTs weren't available on the GS coupes because they aren't available in a 315 for the rear.

fyi - Three suspension options were available on '96s:
1.) FE1 - Base suspension
2.) F45 - Adjustable
3.) Z51 - Sport supension. Stiffest, but I think it's still pretty comfortable. I don't know the details, but I know the '96 Z51 is much softer than some/all of the earlier Z51s.

Regarding the opti, I think mine just took a crap on me yesterday, still doing the diagnosis, so I don't know for sure yet. Mine has 37k on it.

Good luck on your search.

The 96 Z51 is the exact same spring/bars/shocks are the 92/early95 base suspension except the rear spring is softer. That's why it's not very stiff/uncomfortable :) The best reason to get 96 Z51 is that all the wheels are 9.5" with 275 tires.

Rear tires are usually very bald on them, you'll need new ones!

Speaking of crank sensor leaks, mine's leaking. What's the easiest way to get to it and what do I have to remove? Is it just a new gasket to stop the leak? Appreciate you help :)
