      newb with some g-body questions

      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.

      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.
