This is my first shot at a pro touring car and i'm looking for some suspension ideas. the car is a 87 buick turbo t. wheels are 18x8 and 18x9.5. planning on running 245-40-18 & 275-35-18. any ideas to close the fender gaps and still have good ride quality will be appreciated. thanks.

We used all Hotchkis on Michaels Monte. We love the Hotchkis stuff and sell it proudly

I was worried about not getting enough drop because of the v6. hotchkins & eibach list the grand national springs the same as the g-body v8 cars.

Yeah i seen you asked about them on g body forum. I was also looking at those for my car. Still undecided on them still hunting around for a decent deal. They look sweet on the T-Type though.

You might check out TurboBuick.com to see what if anything
they're doing different with the V6's:

My buddy with a TR just put eibach springs on his and that thing sits WAY low.

nice car, wheel choice is perfect for that car/color.
