Thread: el camino shocks

hey guys i was wonder what the best suspension would be for my 69 elky, i have coil overs, so i was thinking of getting some QA1 adjust coil overs. has abybody in here run these? if so how much do they lower the car if they do? and can i run these in the front?

I tried raising the rear of my 68 with new air shocks alone,and the rt mount tore out at the top,had to put in new coils too to make it last. If you want to run just the coil overs, you'll probably have to fabricate stronger upper mounts. Hope this helps you,Hank

I suppose you could just mount a coil over in the stock A-Arms but you would have to do some modifying on the lower arm to mount it... QA-1 does have the pin mount tops available that would go into the stock location but the bottom is a crosspin mount so you would have to do some changing to mount it. They do make tubular lower and upper A-Arms for the Chevelles and ElCamino's that are designed for use with coilovers. If you are just wanting to lower the front, get a set of dropped spindles for it....
