    Hey guys, I just recently purchased a 2001 park ave, and is there anything I can do to the suspension? Or am I kinda stuck...?

    There were a few different suspension levels. I'm quite rusty .. I think the FE5 was the stiffest available for the PA's. Energy suspension has/had urethane bushings that could be replaced and would help as well. IIRC you have the self leveling air in the back like my Bonneville did. Might be worth looking into drag bags as they would stiffen it up. Won't lower it though.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Limited options for upgrades. Eibach used to make lowering springs for the Cadillac STS that fit but are now discontinued. I have Addco front and rear swaybars on my Ultra. They are significantly larger than stock and use poly bushings. You can buy them from Summit (lead time is 3-4 months).
