Make Your GM A-Body Really Handle with an Aldan American Coilover Kit

There is no shortage of suspension upgrades for 1964-72 GM A-Bodies. Aldan American’s Coilover Kits are some of the good ones. The kits replace the factory shocks and springs with an adjustable coilover setup so you can fine-tune the car’s handling and ride height.

Aldan American Coilover Kits use the OEM shock and spring mounting locations for an easy bolt-on installation that maintains the factory suspension geometry. The shocks are factory-serviceable and rebuildable for greatly extended shock life, and all components are made in the US of A.

Other features include:
• Ride-height adjustable up to two inches in front and three inches in the rear
• Front coilovers work with factory or aftermarket control arms and drop spindles
• High-tensile, chrome silicon steel coil springs for strong, consistent performance
• CNC-machined 6061 T-6 billet aluminum shock bodies

Aldan American Road Comp front coilover kits are available with 450 lbs./in. springs for small block cars or 550 lbs./in. springs for big block cars.
