Default 94 Base suspension question

I just purchased a 94 with the "base" suspension package. Can anyone explain what is the difference between it and the "performance" suspension package other than shocks?
Thanks.

The base suspension is called FE1. The autocross suspension option in 1994 was called Z07, which consisted of stiffer bushings, stiffer springs, thicker sway bars (30mm solid front, 24mm hollow rear), 9.5" wheels up front, 275 tires all around, and the F45 adjustable suspension (shocks). All RPO codes will be listed on the sticker on the underside of the center console door, so you can see what all your car has on it that you might not know about. Congrats on the purchase -- 1994 was a good year

What 94vette said, except the Z-07 used the FX-3 version of the ride control, not F-45.
