What did ws6 consist of?

I did a search couldn't find out anything. Everyone knows that WS6 was a top of the line suspension package, but what exactly did the package consist of (in third gen's at least, not so interested about 2nd and 4th gen ws6 packages.)

IIRC, just heavier swaybars and rear disc brakes on some years.

you got the 16x8" wheels, bigger swaybars front and rear, stiffer springs and disc brakes fall in there somewhere but I'm not sure about what the options were. Also badging, vented hood and I think the shocks/struts were valved differently.
