Buick Regal Turbo T
Hello, My name is John and I am new on this board. I have an '87 Buick Regal Turbo T, dark red with grey interior, that I bought new in 1986. The car has been extensively modified over the years. I live about 10 miles from Savitske Classic and Custom, and I am planning on getting very serious with the suspension. My Watts Link arrived on Friday. That is the First of Many parts I am planning. That is why I am Here !!

Welcome to the site from a fellow G-body owner, that's a beautiful T you have there! Oh man, that's gotta be tempting living that close to SC&C! Enjoy, and keep us posted on the Watts-link install!

Welcome aboard. I wish I would have waited on the watts before I did my rear coilover setup.

Very nice looking TR!
what brand of watts did you get? will it be used in conjunction with the stock triangulated 4-link or are you converting to 3-link or torque arm setup?
What is the backspacing & tire size of your wheels? They fit about -perfect-.Morgan

It is a Fays2 watts link from SC&C. I plan on staying with the 4 link (Currectrac arms). I saw the prototype Spohn pro-touring sway bar yesterday at SC&C. Yes I want one of those too !
(My other project car has a GNX torque-arm rear suspension - '79 Century Turbo Coupe with GN/GNX drivetrain)
The wheels are Kirban GNX repros. 16x8 with I think a 4 1/8 BS. Front tires 245/45, rear 245/50's I am planning on going 17x8 w/245's Front & 17x10 w/275 Rear if I can fit them (Boze Pro-Touring w/gunmetal centers)
