1955-1957 Chevy

1955-1957 Chevy - CoilOver System - Level 1

Part #: 11020109 / 11030109


Price: $3,450.00

  • One Piece Frame 
  • Two Piece Frame 

There seems to be more 55-57 Chevys on the road today than in 1957! Their tall boxy shape may say "low and slow", but in reality they can be a crisp performer with the right suspension enhancements.

All of these systems require NO fabrication, NO floorpan cutting, and NO welding to the body or frame. The AirBar is also positioned inside the framerails to allow much needed extra rear tire clearance. Don’t settle for 50 year old technology… serious performance CAN come in a box!


NOTE: The two piece frame is made from 2 pieces of metal welded together along their length. The one piece frame is made from a single piece of metal and has no weld line. (both frames have a seam on the top of the frame the two piece also has a seam on the bottom) The width of these frames is slightly different. The two piece frame measures 35-1/8" between the framerails immediately behind the bodymount in front of the rear wheel. The one piece frame measures 33-11/16" between the framerails. This measurement is important to determine because our AirBar crossmember is placed in that position.

RideTech Aluminum MonoTube Shocks


Great Performance

Mono-tube construction sets this coil-over shock apart - it means consistent performance and great ride quality

 

StrongArm Features


(upper and lower included in this package)

StrongArm tubular control arms not only improve suspension geometry and handling, they also make installation even easier. The added benefit when replacing control arms is new bushings and ball joints. No more worn out components.

  1. Optimized ball joint angle...
    to ensure no binding during extreme suspension travel
  2. Black powdercoated...
    for lasting appearance and protection
  3. Installed Ball Joints
    for simple installation
  4. .219" wall DOM tubing...
    for lasting strength and reliability
  5. Shock mounts swaybar mounts, steering stops are built in...
    no fabrication needed
  1. Proper Coil-Over placement...
    component mounts are designed in, not an afterthought
  2. Proper ball joint selection...
    we use a compression ball joint in a compression application and a tension ball joint in a tension application (just like the factory engineered it) to prevent failures
  3. Optimized arm length...
    makes proper wheel alignment a breeze
  4. Jig welded...
    every part is built right, every time



4-Link Features

 

RideTech Bolt-On 4-Link


The area of largest improvement is the handling and cornering performance. The RideTech 4-Link eliminates the oem leafspring and replaces them with a 4 link rear suspension. The 4 link bars offer more precise positioning of the rear axle to eliminate flexing and increase stability through the corners. When combined with coil-overs your vehicle can now enjoy the benefits of modern handling and ride quality technology.

• Lowers vehicle ride height
• Mounting hardware to maintain ground & tire clearance, driveline angles, and load capacities
• Bolt-on installation (no fabrication required)
• Greatly improved handling performance
• Ultimate ride quality.

 

Non Adjustable Shock Features

The Non Adjustable ("NA") series is a great entry level solution. It still retains all the mounting and installation advantages of the other shock series. With fixed shock valving, the NA series is designed to optimize ride quality, leaving out the guess work.

The quality of the monotube aluminum body shock will last for years of reliable service, and is an excellent choice for the price conscious buyer.

Features:

  • Fixed shock valving is designed to optimize ride quality
  • Aluminum impact forged construction provides leak free operation
  • A great option for increasing ride quality and performance on a budget
  • Monotube design for superior oil control
  • High quality bearing mounts and stud style mounts for years of reliable service
