I am looking for recommendations for a performance suspension for my 71 Buick Sportwagon ( GM A body) I don't want to start a flame war, just some suggestions on a good brand to use and why you like it.

Should I use one manufacturers complete system or brand X front with brand Y rear Etc. I want to make my wagon handle a whole lot better than stock.

Thanks

Tim

I humbly admit to being biased...but you may want to check out the April issue of Super Chevy with a suspension article on a certain 66 Chevelle. Same suspension as yours.

SC&C is the most cost-effective... talk to Mark ( www.scandc.com )

I agree on the SC&C parts. Mark's great to work with too. If you feel like coming down from Laramie to Frederick (near Longmont) you're welcome to drive mine and even thoough it's the G Body ("85 Monte Carlo SS) you might still get a feel for what the SC&C stuff is like. I've also got one of Tom Lee's (Lee Power Steering) boxes on it along with a larger rear sway bar.
