I have a 56 Buick Special 4 Dr Hardtop that want to bring back to original just to push the family around.

However, I really don't like how the car sits and I would like to put a set of fresh springs under it and with that I was considering going to a little stiffer or taller spring.

I also saw a disk brake conversion on a car for this year and was looking for information on parts or conversions without cutting anything up.

Looking for ideas or past experiences.

This company offers bolt on brackets for disc brake conversions:

and this company can make springs to raise or lower the car:

If you search for "scarebird" there are some posts by people who have done the conversion on various years.
