Re: '65 GS Shock/Spring Suggestions?

I have not. The last time ('07) that I replaced anything, I was able to get a good deal on the OE stuff from a friend who was working at Advance Auto. I did it all in OE rubber. ( Advance has since switched lines and doesn't handle it any longer.) I wasn't interested in improving G forces duiring lateral acceleration, just getting things back to status quo. For my kind of driving, that's fine. According to the part numbers listed by Classic Buicks and PST, all track bar bushings are the same for '63- '70.
