Hello,
I am a US military member in Germany. I have a 1987 Buick Turbo T with some Simmons 17's on it and a bit of engine work done to it. I am moving back to the states (New Mexico) next month and hope to start on the suspension.

Welcome to the site. There's plenty of g-body enthusiasts here.Talk with marcus at SC&C, he's the g-body suspension guru. His company makes several bolt on kits to improve on the g-body front and rear suspension. From their Stage 1 up to the high end c5 stuff. Hope I could be of some help to you. Later

Welcome and thanks for serving! What part of NM are you heading to? I know Kirtland AFB is in Albuquerque, my in-laws live out there. Nice place, if a little brown in the landscape! Couldn't live there myself, no trees or hills, just flat land and mountains. Great place to visit though. First time I went, I never did get over that altitude sickness. Had to propose to Kristy (my wife) after a 3 hour nap trying to get rid of the headache! She's a great gal though, so it was worth it. Still don't see what she sees in me! Anyway, great car! I had an '86 442 w/t-tops. Beautiful car, I loved it. I was planning a nice engine swap when some dumb lady ran a red light and T-boned it. She totaled it, one day before we got married. A friend of mine was driving it, he wasn't hurt though. I still raz him about it whenever I can!

Yes, Kirtland AFB. I am not too happy about the landscape either.

Thanks again. I talked to Mark at SC&C and learned a lot. Now I am leaning towards his Street Comp Stage 2 kit for my front end.
