| Wicked newbie from Cape Cod here. I just got a white Buick Roadmaster estate wagon, 127k and love it. Coincidentally, I ran across someone selling the B-Body Hotchkis Suspension kit for $200, and was wondering if it would be something to consider installing. Any info. will be greatly appreciated.
I'm probably omitting key info. and thanks for your patience.

| Here's what's listed:
Info that Hotchkis lists for this - Upper and lower trailing arms work together to positively locate and control the rear axle. Launches are quicker, smoother and more consistent by reducing wheel hop. Cornering and overall stability are dramatically improved through increased roll stiffness and sway bar effectiveness. The fabricated trailing arms are constructed from one piece of .120" wall TIG welded steel tubing and include greasable polyurethane bushings.
No nuts and bolts included.
Thanks! | |

| That's all the info. so far. Can you tell me if this is difficult to install? Just curious as to if I can afford to do it. More time than money these days! | |

| That is a good deal for that kit, but it won't really gain you much on an otherwise stock car.
I have the Hotchkis springs on my wagon and love them.
Welcome aboard! | |
