    I need some guidance on new springs. The factory springs are shot, so looking to get new ones installed but unsure of the kind I should replace them with. I will be driving it normal for the most part. It has the factory 350.

    I just had suspension work done. I wanted to stick with stock ride height and ended up going with a Belltech suspension kit, part number 1722... shocks, springs and front and rear sway bars. Ride is much better, no complaints yet..I didn't get to drive it too much. Got lucky and had a warm Saturday a few weeks back and took it for a short ride.

    You can probably buy just the springs from Belltech. I'm sure there are a lot of other options and there are definitely people here with a ton more knowledge than I have that I'm sure will chip in their opinion.

    Darryl,

    Here you go. http://buickperformanceclub.com/tips.html Should be a highlighted link for more spring info. As CCM said there are a lot of opinions/options here for springs.

    I went with Moog 5398's up front & Moog cc501's in the rear.
