Hey gang, I'm hopefully going to make the leap into some desperately needed suspension for the Buick. I just drive the car, no racing nothing special, just want a good look (lowered) and a decent ride fro summer cruising.

Here are the kits i have found. Any feedback or other suggestions would be nice.

Thanks..

Hello,

Thanks for including UMI in your search.

If you are looking for nice ride, good handling and a slightly lowered look the UMI Stage 1 kit is a great start. Our UMI branded shocks are made here in the USA and valved specifically for us. They have ramped up rebound in them for more aggressive driving while still riding very nice.

Please let me know if you have any questions we can help with!
 
i just ordered UMI rear control arms because for the price you are getting a great quality product at half of what some places charge
 
UMI is very good and you would be surprised as what the addition of a rear sway bar w well greased endlinks can make. Had a endlink go raw on a sway bar once and that's all it took for me to find a oldschool sway bar after that. No way I was going to spend 2 hours ghetto rigging that wimpy stock one back on when it was just going to take same ammount of time and $ to make this small improvement. But I myself am not a fan of the newer style sway bars and kept rear oldschool HD.
 
I also have rode in a cutty w beltech and it felt more like a Camaro than a Cadillac to me. I like moog, even cut it still rides better imo but many would disagree; to each their own of course
