1958 Chevy Impala - Level 3

Everyone grew up with an old Impala in their family. You also remember the soft, wallowy ride that came with it! Of all the vehicles that we have developed air suspension components for, the early Impalas have shown the most dramatic improvement in both ride quality AND handling performance. The hardcore corner carvers will go right to the Level 3 Street Challenge system with the ShockWaves, STRONGARMS, and MuscleBars. Next time you’re at a national show, ask any Impala owner whose suspension they are using… and get ready for a smile! No matter your build style or your budget… we’ve got it nailed with a system that is 100% bolt-on.

RideTech 58-64 Chevy Suspension Design

Front Benefits:

1. Additional caster built into the arm so that the car drivers better, especially at higher speeds.
2. The RideTech front Muscle Bar will clear all steering box configurations, whether it is a manual, slave cylinder, or 605 setup.
3. The Coolride shock mount is bolt on for an easier installation.
4. New billet lower cross shafts.
5. RideTech has built in adjustable steering stops for different tire combinations especially if you are running Coolride.
6. This is one on the easiest cars to put air ride on.

Rear Benefits:

1. The panhard is adjustable so you can optimize your tire clearance at the new lowered height.
2. The upper arm for the 59-64 is bent to provide additional clearance of the axle tube.

Features:

with strong arm upgrade

The ShockWave® mounts much like a coilover and replaces both the coil spring and the shock absorber. The Shockwave kit bolts in using the existing upper shock mount. (Note: some trimming of your spring pocket may be required)

The Shockwave system lower the vehicle from the factory ride height and provides the ability to go even lower when not being driven by lowering the air pressure further.

1. Unequalled ride quality
2. Proven patented sealing technology
3. Anodized billet aluminum construction
4. Eliminates tire clearance problems

To optimize the suspension, our ShockWave® system allows the replacement of the factory lower arm with our StrongArm lower control arm which is included in this system (this package also includes the upper control arm upgrade).

Track Quality

Shock Series

Shocks are the heart of every suspension system and are the key component in provide ride control to the driver. The Level 3 system includes the upgrade to our Track Quality Series, triple Adjustable aluminum shocks, both front and rear.

The TQ shock has an impact forged aluminum body / mono-tube design with adjustable valving. Adjustability provides more options for desired driving style which includes single rebound adjustment PLUS dual stage high and low speed compression.

(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.

Optimized ball joint angle... to ensure no binding during extreme suspension travel Black powdercoated... for lasting appearance and protection Installed Cross shafts & Ball Joints.. for simple installation .219" wall DOM tubing... for lasting strength and reliability Shock mounts swaybar mounts, steering stops are built in... no fabrication needed

Proper airspring or ShockWave® placement... component mounts are designed in, not an afterthought 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 Optimized arm length... makes proper wheel alignment a breeze Jig welded... every part is built right, every time

The most overlooked suspension component is also one of the most important. The magic you could be missing in your suspension may be nothing more than simply adding or upgrading your swaybar. The new Musclebar sway bars were developed specifically for lowered vehicles and will greatly enhance the cornering performance of your vehicle ( Not to mention they'll also make some vehicles safer at the speeds we travel on today's interstate highways.

"Ball Joint" style connection allows bind free operation through a extremely wide range of motion.
- 360º rotation
- 45º misalignment
Durable design will outlast traditional bushing style connectors

Billet Tie Rod Adjusters - Strong, easy to adjust and look cool too. Large wrench flats on both ends provide an easy way to dial your suspension anodized aluminum finish provides long lasting good looks.

with strong arm and musclebar upgrade

The CoolRide® system consists of an airspring, a shock absorber, and all of the necessary mounting brackets and hardware. The rear system is very simple to install with the airspring and shock absorber replacing the coil-spring and shock in the stock locations.

 

1. Lowers vehicle ride height and provides the ability to go even lower when not being driven by lowering the air pressure further. Improves both handling and ride quality
2. Pre-engineered mounting hardware to maintain ground clearance, driveline angles, tire clearance and load capacities
