Here are some pics of my 455 Regal with the Hotchkiss springs on all four corners. I would imagine the Buick 455 weighs about the same as the LC2 motor. The wheels are stock GN with 275/60 retreads on the rear and 16" WS6 snowflakes with 225/50 tires on the front.

Here is mine with the Hotchkis lowering springs. It is not the best picture, but you can see how much it drops. I have factory tires on it.

I would go with Eibach Springs. I had the Hotchkis springs on my GN and it never sat good at all. It always looked like I had weights in the trunk.
