Yep, that thread has some fantastic info in there. It also shows many different point of views. There are many different ways to go about lowering your car at many different price ranges. I just wanted to use less expensive parts to accomplish the same thing. The Moog set up is a very cost effective way to lower the car and gives great results in ride height and ride quality. I do like the Eibach kit but it is a pretty penny. The Hotchkis kit doesnt impress me at all do to a poor ride quality. I think the Moogs and a good set of Bilstein shocks is the way to go! That is just my opinion though!

I have the Bilsteins and the Eibachs on mine. I like the way the car feels and looks, but the ride is definately a little harsher than before. Makes sense in that it is usually necessary for more aggressive handling. I don't find it intolerable. About two months after this photo was taken, I noticed the springs settled down a little more. Other than needing a wheel alignment it was a good mod in my opinion. If you get sick of it you can always go back or try something else. Eibach springs seem to resell easily. So far I have no plans to change them back.

Rockauto.com for the Moogs.

I have the Moog 5658s and some SC&C stuff on the front and Global West Springs on the back.

Here is post with the Global West rear springs write-up: http://www.turbobuick.com/forums/br...al-west-s-69-rear-spring-install-results.html

The GW springs are a bit pricey but they seem to ride/handle well.

My vote is for Eibachs and Bilsteins. That's what I have and I love them. I found that the ride quality improved. I initially had KYB shocks but they couldn't control the car with any kind of composure.

Moog 5658 fronts and Moog 5413 rears. Any parts store should be able to get them for you which will save you on shipping.

Thanks again for all the reply, I will be picking up some soon.

I use Eibachs and Competition Engineering adjustable shocks from Summit. Ride is great and handles good even with skinnys
