Default Not enough Buicks here!

So I thought I would help correct that. I have a 1970 Buick Skylark with a Procharged 455. My daughter has a 1987 GN. 14 years ago when I first got my Buick I knew that I wanted it to handle better than stock. This is old school now but at the time way ahead of the curve; front end has Global West upper a-arms with b body spindles, Global West 600# springs, QA-1 single adjustable shocks and a Helwig 1 3/8 th's bar. Back end is a 12 bolt, Currie lower control arms and Edelbrock upper control arms. Has the Edelbrock upper/lower control arm brace.

Last year I upgraded to a Turn One 600 steering box. Not race car specs but very good street manners. Rids and steers very well, handles much better than any stock a body.

The GN is getting upgraded with all new 1 inch lowering springs and Varishocks if they ever come in.

Will be putting 2002 Camaro brakes on the GN this winter.

Welcome to the site, Doug. We're going to need pictures of that GN, too.

Will post the GN when we get the new shocks in and settle it to new ride height. Meanwhile I can boost my views with a picture of under the hood and one with the hood down.
