**Global West Suspensions does not recommend using any OEM lower control arm, not designed for coilover applications. We highly recommend using our control arms for coilover applications. Our lower control arms are designed and reinforced specifically to handle the load of a coilover.**Adjustable ride height kits for the 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964 Impala, Belair, and Biscayne is here.
Global West designed up a conical wound spring that installs in the factory spring perch and tapers down to a 2.5 inch adjusting nut on a QA1 threaded shock body.
The coilover kit can fit on top of the stock lower control arm but Global West recommends using the tubular lower control arm that is stronger than stock. The material supporting the shock on Global West arm is increased just to handle coilover applications.
The Viking shock absorbers have a digressive force curve for both compression and rebound. This means that forces increase quickly at low shaft speeds and level off at higher shaft speeds.
The valving provides excellent low speed control with sufficient high speed forces. Each adjustment knob (compression and rebound) provides for 19 positions of adjustment - the zero position and 18 distinctive clicks - providing for a total of 361 valving combinations.
