Re: G body suspension
I would start with a real good set of adjustable rear shocks and initially tighten the right one more than the left ( you will have to test to determine what settings work best ) . The rear sway bar is critical and will need to be adjustable as well ; the best I found was HRpartsNstuff (330) 947-2433 . Good luck with your project .

A rear sway bar is the best investment you will make. I bolted on the Xtreme Anti-roll Bar from BMR Suspension and it removed all body twist from my car. However, it does add about 25 pounds. |
Re: G body suspension
They are pretty simple and inexpensive. Basically adjustable upper trailing arms to adjust pinion angle. Box in the lowers for strength. Solid or poly urethane bushings. Adjustable shocks,and anti roll bar or airbag in pass side coil spring to control rollover. Some good products and info over at maliburacing com

Like Brian F. said above, the HR Parts 'n' Stuff anti-roll bar is great, and it's made from hollow chrome moly tubing and isn't very heavy. There are alot of nice upper and lower control arms out there from alot of companies.

Re: G body suspension
Some of the aftermarket lower control arms will change the wheelbase a little. Be sure to check.

Stock boxed arms with bushings and comp engineering shocks with an anti roll bar are good to 10 s. Some use the HR arms instead of boxing and bushing the stockers. The HR Anti roll bar is the top of the food chain but lots of Buick guys use the old ATR bar. This is a stock mount style and works very good. Stock GN springs go low 9s.

Re: G body suspension
I dont think the adjustable aftermarket lower trailing arm is legal for Stock, but I could be wrong I used the Spohn anti roll bar
