Shocks

[Member # 77]

Well,

I did it! The NA, 3.8 L (4BBL Holley) Buick now has Dual exhaust (CAT , "Y", straight pipes) with chrome tips coming out the back.
Looks pretty good.
Sounds pretty good with you 1st crank it up and when at idle.
After that it is down hill. Nothing compares to a V-8 Duals exhaust.
Also I just got done ordering Bilstein shocks all the way around.

I hope to have them installed this coming weekend. If Dale Jarrett ever brings them in a timely manner.

I guess after that it will be time to find a bigger frt sway bar and poly bushing up-grade. Any suggestions?

My suggestion is to use a front sway bar from a F-body. I am using a 34mm hollow bar that was from a 91 rs camaro.

The bar is lighter (9lbs or so) and does help the handling a bit. I also replaced my sway bar end links with poly ones.

The hot set up for front bars is the 36mm hollow bar from iroc's and such if you want to go junk yard or factory with these pieces.

I no longer have a break down of exactly what cars got what bars(a cars rpo code will dictate what type of suspension it has 1fe for example.) , but I do remember that all 1le optioned fbodies got the larger 36mm bar. You'll just have to look, I use a 34mm opened ended wrench in my quest.
