UMI Performance 78-88 G-Body 82-03 S10/S15 73-77 A-Body Front Coilover Kit

If you're looking to dial in your suspension for everything from street cruising to serious track time, this front coilover kit from UMI Performance is a solid option. It's designed to fit a wide range of popular vehicles, including classic G-Bodies like the Monte Carlo and Regal, S10 pickups and S15 trucks, and A-Body cars like the Chevelle and Malibu. This kit replaces your stock shocks and springs with a fully integrated coilover system, giving you the ability to fine-tune your ride height and damping characteristics.

The heart of this kit is the Viking double-adjustable shock, which offers 19 positions for both compression and rebound damping. This means you can independently adjust how the shock behaves when it's being compressed and when it's extending, allowing you to tailor the suspension for specific driving conditions – whether that's a smooth highway cruise, a tight autocross course, or a drag strip launch. The kit includes hybrid coil springs, and you can choose the spring rate that best suits your intended use, from lighter rates for drag racing to stiffer rates for handling applications. The adjuster on the shock acts as a spring compressor, so you don't need special tools to set your ride height, which can be adjusted from stock down to a 3-inch drop. For easier ride height adjustments, UMI recommends their optional spanner wrench and thrust bearing kit, which allows the spring seat to rotate on a bearing.

You have a choice for the lower shock mount: polyurethane bushings are available for a more comfortable street ride, while bearing ends are recommended for performance applications like drag racing or road course use, offering increased reliability. Keep in mind that performance bushings, whether polyurethane or bearing, will feel and sound different than stock rubber mounts. This kit is built in the USA with a protective finish to keep the springs looking good, and the shocks are dyno-tested and serialized.
