New Combo?

[CaptainInsane-O]

Been out of the Turbo Buick game for a while now, but the birth of my 1st child ~3 weeks ago has really gotten me motivated to get my T back on the road with an updated combo.

The car's current goodies include:

CPP built shortblock w/ Venolia 9:1 forged pistons
Race Jace girdle & billet mains on the centers
Stock freshened heads w/ 3 angle valve job
Limit TE-61 turbo w/ PTE .63 exhaust housing
Stock headers, TH 3" downpipe & 3" Torque Tech exhaust
PMAC built tranny w/ 3200rpm stall Art Carr top-hat converter
HR Parts non-adj rear control arms, lowers 1/4" longer than stock
Moser 28 spline axles w/ c=clip eliminators & stock 3.42 gear
Drag shocks on all 4 corners

As you can see, it's set up more as a weekend drag racer & not very enjoyable to cruise around in on the street. I'd like to re-do things to make it more of a pro-touring / back road carver style ride and am really just fishing for info on any updated or "new" go-fast & suspension goodies that have been developed in the last few years.

Thanks in Advance!

You might want to scan the suspension forum to see what's new for you. With your combo I'd change shocks and tires/rims to get a level and balanced stance. I don't know what springs or sway bars you have. If possible bring back toward stock then tweek to get it where you want it.
