6 code = left front spring code
7 code = right front spring code
8 code = left rear spring code

Ok, I just had a horrible thought... the springs aren't specific for the side (passenger vs drivers side), right? The stiffer spring from the WS6 package can go on either side of the car, right?

The strange thing about my daughter's Fiero... She apparently has the stiffest springs, but the rear drivers side RPO shows a spring that is the lesser stiff spring. Basically, the RPO code shows that her springs are mismatched. I think it's a type-O on the RPO sticker, but I thought that was interesting.
