      Just a lil tidbit of info. The Riv shares alot of the susp parts with the A body. With your 71 Riv you'll be cross matching parts with the 68-72 A bodies. Good luck with your Riv. I'm a big boattail Riv fan.

      Glad you like the Riv...I've never seen one "G"d, so I thought I'd give it a shot! Anyway, Thanks a million for that post. That's the kind of information that seriously takes a load off the brain!

      Wheels and tires are always the best bang for the buck in both performance and appearance. After that start with the suspension. I would fix trouble spots first. Look at you bushings front and rear. if any are in real bad shape look at ways to replace them. Look at it this way let's say the bushings in your rear LCA's are bad. Buy a set of new LCA's they come with new bushings. Things like that. Not sure I would go so far as to replace the front control arms but springs and shocks yes.
