Newbie with a 69 Buick GS

[69 buick GS]

Hello everyone! I just have to say you guys are awesome! I have spent many a night looking at pics and reading all sorts of stuff in protouring and cant get enough. My project is a 69 Buick GS with a 455, 4speed and factory air. I have been looking for all sorts of info on suspension, ride height, wheels&tires, etc. to give the buick a great look. Anybody else have a GS or skylark here? Love look'n at the chevelle's but I was wondering if there were some other protouring buicks hang'n out. I will post some pics of the car in current state (not started yet). Any ideas or help is welcome.

Thanks again!

Welcome to the site.

Nice project! Looking at your list, I might suggest the ATS spindles. They accept any C-5 front brake kit, and are tall like the B-body swap, but without the other B-body issues. I have not yet ordered mine, but they are definitely on the list!

On my 442 I am using the Global West upper and lower control arms on the front, though my understanding from this list shows that SC&C make a very nice control arm kit as well. I like the GW stuff because of the use of bushings instead of heim joints, but that might be a silly bias on my part.

While I'm on suspension, what's with the Coleman Racing pitman arm?

Shiny Side Up!
