Gary D Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Since Labor Day marks the un-official end to summer, I thought I would take the Reatta to the "beach" for a photo shoot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithbrother Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Neat car just that the stance is not doing the lines of the car any favors. IMO. Dropping it a couple inches would really make it stand PROUD. Nothing personal, just my opinion, Dale in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think they would look great "smoked" - that tint they are putting on factory aluminum wheels nowadays. On your wheels, are those the ones off the Regal from about 10 years ago? Thanks. The wheels came from a 2006 Lucerne. They are 16's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithbrother Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Buick engineering SHOULD have addressed stance in the first place. It's not a 4 X 4 getting to run through the mud, or climb rocks. Do a photoshop, you will quickly see how much better it would look had engineering done the stance right.

89RedDarkGrey Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Where I live- my driveway connects to the main road at a steepish angle. Even being careful- the Air Dam almost scrapes, but dosen't, maybe 0.75"-1.5" more to go. I still have stock rims & sized tires, and am very pleased with them. Driving a lowered vehicle isn't always practical. Bumps, speed bumps, potholes, heavy rain, inches of snow, etc. I know what you mean, though. Maybe- a hydraulic kit? http://www.kwsuspensions.co.uk/kw/info/kw_hls/ Another Member here- 63Viking and I were swapping lowering ideas a while back. I tracked down a company- that makes custom knuckles. I'm not sure if he followed up or not. KW Suspensions offer many products, and there's probably more companies- very willing to make money, and make anything you need. It kills me- when an owner looks for car parts- and if the website doesn't offer "xxxx Buick Reatta" on a parts application menu- they get discouraged, and think there's nothing to be had. And then Jon or D-a-n-I-e-l drives by... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89RedDarkGrey Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Wow... Talk about "Thread Drift" How did we go from "Happy Labor Day" to "I hate my high-stanced Reatta" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
