Hey BonneAlien,
In lieu of this remark:
" but the only difference is..the boneville is way tighter than any of the other cars named. Bonneville looks 10x better in appearance. "

You obviously have never seen or driven a BLT (Buick LeSabre T-Type). Don't get me wrong I like the Bonneville, but the truth is it can't stand next to a BLT. And now that I have a L67 (SC II motor)...man !, well all I can't say is... Maybe Hammer said it best.

" You CAN'T touch this ! "

All in love...no offense intended.

Peace,

TuType

TT,

Go look in mechanical maintenance. There'* a guy doing a Series 2 L67 swap into an older model GP. You might be the best person to help him out.

I remember those! What year is yours? I think the last year for those was 91. That was a two-door, kind of like a 2-door 87-91 bonneville.

That would be 1989 my friend. TuType is right, something special about those cars.

Just to throw some fun into the pic the springs on the 2000 Bonneville are much like the 98-2001 G Body Aurora. Actually same spring format but much different rates. So if you try and do a swap your Bonneville will have the front end up in the air and the rear will be slightly higher. lol So the 2000-2003 Bonneville has some G Body parts already and also has a similar format on the front clip to that of the GP.

I would say its a mess right now because GM is in transition. The parts are all coming from the same pool so using the G Body springs in preparation for a v8 is a great idea. Obviously the v6 Bonny has a different rate and wont work with the current G body springs but it is an indicator of things to come.

Domestic performance is going to produce a spring for the newer Bonneville as well.
