UMI Performance 59-64 GM B-Body Viking Front Coil Over Kit Double Adjustable- Polyurethane

If you're looking to give your classic 1959-1964 Chevrolet Bel Air a serious handling upgrade, this Viking front coilover kit from UMI Performance is a solid choice. What you get in this kit are two front coilover shocks, each with independent 19-way adjustable compression and rebound damping, along with two front hybrid coil springs. You also get polyurethane shock mounts, which offer a good balance of ride comfort and improved road feel compared to stock rubber bushings. This setup is designed to work with your factory lower A-arms or UMI's own lower A-arms, and pairs well with UMI's geometry-corrected upper A-arms for a complete suspension overhaul.

The real magic here is the adjustability. With 19 settings for both compression and rebound, you can fine-tune your suspension for just about any driving scenario – from cruising around town to hitting the drag strip or carving up an autocross course. The shocks are built and dyno-tested in Minnesota, ensuring they perform as expected right out of the box. The hybrid coil springs are available in rates like 450lb for small block engines or 550lb for big block applications, letting you match the spring to your car's power plant. Plus, the springs have a brilliant protective finish to keep them looking good for years.

This kit allows for ride height adjustment, letting you lower your Bel Air up to 3 inches from its factory stance. While the spanner wrenches and optional thrust bearing kit are recommended for easier ride height adjustments, they are sold separately. The polyurethane mounts are great for street use, but if you're planning on heavy track duty, UMI suggests considering bearing ends for maximum reliability and performance. Remember that performance bushings, whether poly or bearing, will feel and sound different than your original rubber components.
