That sounds great. Maybe I'll get to see it someday.
Remember when installing the rear seat braces, to
have the car supported on a lift or jackstands. After the install
when its back on all fours, the braces will be pre-loaded.

I wouldn't bet on that, Brian. I know some people that liked the Kenne-Bell one more than the Kirban one, but I called a while back, and they had virtually nothing left for Buicks.

Sadly enough, Kenne-Bell is more about Fords and Dodge these days.

Update: Update;
Ok, yesterday, I took the car to Tim Lee of Don Lee Auto in Rancho Cucamonga, Ca. and had them install the missing # 3 & 4 lower & GNX upper body bushings,  Kirban front & rear springs, Kirban rear seat brace, Kirban front frame braces, & the connecting frame brace, & viola, the car is now considerably more responsive in the handling aspect. Made a world of difference. labor cost was 6 hours @ $69 an hour, or $ 414 total. After watching them install everything, there was nothing there that I wished that I would have done myself to save the money. Between the cost of the parts and the labor, I can really say that it was money well spent, and I can honestly say that short of upper & lower rear control arms and a set of GNX replica 16" rims & matching tires, I am pretty much done with the suspension, unless I decide to get into exotica such as rear discs, which might come later. Car is much more enjoyable to drive than when I first started. Well, back to the motor, got the Thunderfab intercooler the other day, and all I am waiting on is the Thunderfab passenger side mounting bracket & then the Thunderfab intercooler will go on. Hopefully, the bracket comes in today's shipment, and then I am off to lou's tomorrow morning for installation. Boy, I see Champion smog ported irons looming up in the near future. Maybe a small cam?
