How could you tell if your vette has the upgraded suspension package?

Have your Chevy service department go on dealer world's website and run your vin number. It will tell you every option that came with your car when new.

Look inside your glovebox. There's a sticker on the glovebox door that has all the build codes for your car.

You could look for the power steering cooler that comes standard with the Z51.

Not there on all models. My codes are on one of the lids for the compartments in the trunk.

Yeah, they changed in 99 or 00. After that it's in the glovebox. Prior to the change, it's under the driver side storage lid.

Look for Z51 or FE3 (the suspension part of the Z51 package)
