Hi all, i was going to put air bags in my regal this spring then I came across a Morosso trick spring that has what looks like 1 more coil in the passenger side spring so the compression is slower than the drives side. They claim you don't need air bags using them. Has anyone used this type of spring in place of air bags ? I like the idea, and maintainence would be much easier than bags. Right now my rear suspension consists of a 9" ford differential with 3.89 gears in a Detroit locker and Strange axles, boxed lower control arms and adjustable upper arms, Spohn radius drag bar. I don't have a strip close enough to run on but I do turn it lose on the back roads against some unsuspecting people who leave with their jaws dropped. Right now I leave the line at 1500 rpm and push the pedal evenly down waiting for 275-60-15 Hoosier quick times to bite and that's pretty quick. The regal weighs 3500# with full tank of gas and me in it, 470 cu in, 570 hp and 575 lbs ft of torque. It's a hand full to keep straight on them crowned back roads but the Spohn system has helped a lot . I'm hoping air bags or these springs will help a little more. Let me know what you think.

get a nice pair of viking shocks at all four corners and run stock turbo regal springs, air bags and trick springs are a thing of the past
Thanks for the update on what's best for suspension Hugger it's just what I need. Roger On The Eighth Day God Created Buick
Go with Hellwig arb. It's hollow/tubular and much lighter weight. Solid (Spohn) bars cannot utilize the inner steel of a solid bar and it is dead weight for nothing. Helwig is priced right too. #55868 fits 1968-1972 a-body. #55864 fits 1967-1967 a-body. http://www.hellwigproducts.com/look...orts+Tubular;+Fast/Easy+Bolt+On+Installation; I had to swap sides with muffler brackets to make hookup easier for front links. No problem. Curves nice at the rear diff cover also. I have a 55864 on my 67 GS and ain't no way to pitch-roll this Buick now! Plus the Detroit truetrac hooks like a spool.
