as is, the /6 suspension should have slightly stiffer torsion bars and slightly stiffer rear springs if one used bone stock factory parts....
The torsion bars are the same diameter, just different splines. There were enough different rear springs used on the fours that you can probably find some that are about equal to the -6 springs.
The Six didn't come with sway bars, IIRC. The Four did; they were even standard on the 73 2.0 cars.

as for brakes, the /6 front rotors are vented, but that might not come into play depending on the driver or course...
Well, the Six brakes are heavier...
Still and all; I'd say that any difference in on-track performance would be pretty small. Certainly much smaller than if, say, I were driving the one car and Bradholio were driving the other.
