I have an 86 Buick Grand National and ever since I saw the DubCity model I' ve wanted to bag it but noone can tell me if there is a kit for this car. Does anyone know of one?
The Buick GN/Regal are both a " G" body, so any of our kits that list for the " G" bodies will work. Also, the front suspension on the " G" bodies is the same as the front suspension on the S10s, so you could use the S10 StrongArms if you want to get into some cool tubular arms up front.

keep in mind the s-10 dropped spindles are a bolt on as well. Also better brakes are only as far as your local junk yard. Everytthng from the ball joint out on 98 and up s-10 Blazers is beefier. Bigger rotors and dual piston Callipers.

o yes and i wanted to ask. about the lower strong arms from an s-10. how much more diffrent are they than stock? are they shorter? i have a very fast air ride set up and like going low just as much as i like jacking it up to the sky. so i wanted to make sure the lower arms where not going to hurt this

The lower arm is a little longer (not much) to correct the camber. We also adjusted the ball joint angles for a lowered vehicle.

I could be wrong but we usually make all changes to the lower arm so the upper can be used with the factory lower. Either way it corrects the camber.
