  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

1960 suspension interchangeablilty?

Discussion in 'The whoa and the sway.' started by dwx4, Aug 11, 2010.

    Well I picked up a 60 lesabre and since its one of two years, aftermarket suspensions are hard to find for the 59-60 years.

    So what can I use/buy for the front and rear? Will 63-65 riviera parts work? Are the shocks and coils the same?

    I dont know enough about these cars and I have been scouring the search functions looking for answers but no luck.:pray:

    You can buy front springs from Autozone. You can buy rear springs from Eastern States Performance Outlet (ESPO Springs & Things). You can buy front end kit fron Kanter auto parts. Hope this helps.

    Thanks, I found a place that has lowering kits for the front and coils for the back but there wasn't any shocks listed to go with the kit. The complete kits(front/back with coils/shocks) available were for 63 wildfire buicks so I was looking to see if I could use that kit instead of piecing together something from a couple of suppliers.
