I took picture on my springs.
Are those allways that short?
Spring looks softer version to me? (Wider and not so tight curves).

I had before 1990 lesabre and it was like flying carpet on speed bumbs etc. Very soft and smooth. Pontiac is stiffer, i think its mean to be like that. Now i have 1990 bonneville. Okay its simple: just switch buicks shock+springs. Only problem is high shipping costs. So which is better investment, springs or shock? Because i think that stiffer spring will limit smoothes harder than shock? |

YES, the springs will give you a softer ride - the shock will prevent the car from bouncing on the spring. you can look here if you are cheap like me....http://www.diseno-art.com/encyclopedia/ ... lamps.html if you use them correctly, they might work but, softer springs are your best bet. maybe you get lucky in scrap yard near you |

Heh... Buick and Pontiac shared couple same shocks but not springs. Those cars are rare in here, so used parts are no go. |

When i ordered stabilizer bar bushings, i regonized that there was many different sizes of bushings, 28mm 30mm 31mm 32mm and 34mm. I had 32mm. I think that thicker stabilizer bar is stiffer ride? |
