dear all New to the site, a buddy told me about it and looking for advice More of a 60's muscle guy but always loved the low down big Art Deco rides so just bought a Buick special, bone stock running driving car Going to mild custom it and drive it Not a lot of options I have found out of the box( clips, etc) Any ideas on bagging, etc is appreciated Found an article about someone using 1958 Pontiac control arms(?) to lower one, but the more ideas the better Thanks Ty
Orn Fantastic info The dropped spindles you bought were from Sweden? Your cars a beauty- image of mine in all black, just need to get it down Have a great fabricator who will doing the work for me When I get some pics up I will send you some Ty
blow torched my 48 super coils. I know I know..not the go to way to do it. but the price was right at the time. sat low, rode great. took about an hour for all 4 and a couple packs of beer.
Orn I have been sourcing a guy to do some of my fab work and a question has come up Since doing your Buick, would you,do,anything different? Would you have placed the front bags further inboard or outboard? The way you have set it up , what kind of pressure are your front bags currently running? Pretty rare to have such a great pictorial for a step,by step approach- greatly appreciated Ever in Canada I owe you beers!! Ty
Thanks Ty. I like beer so I let you know if I visit Canada No I wouldn't do anything different if I had to do it again cause it ride very well and I reached ride height with about 75 Psi in front and 25-30 in rear. It was never an option for me to place the bag further in or out cause of the massive work it would take to reconstruct the stock spring pocket that way. I guess that Buick engineers know their***** back then in terms of suspension placement. Good luck with your build and please upload some pics of your progresses. Per
