Lee for the record, and based on available GM docs, the jl8 was available for $500 for both the SS or Z28 equipped cars. Since the SS came with 14 inch wheels and not necessarily rally wheels that kind of debunks your statement.

I believe it had to do with mandatory front disc brakes (credit applied) & suspension requirements on both the Z28 & SS. Non Z28 & SS cars with JL8 likely required a suspension upgrade & no front disc brake credit which drove the cost up to $623. I'm only speculating based on what material is available.
