1967-1969 Camaro Big Block Extended Travel Kit with Double Adjustable Shocks, Springs, Extended Lower Arms #COF-79DBV

If you are planning on lowering your car and running big tires for pro-touring or just achieving the desired look, extended travel front end kits are something you should be looking at.

The Global West Suspension Advantage

As coilover suspension grows in popularity and ride heights get lower, suspension travel is becoming more limited. Dropped spindles lower the car down but reduce the amount of back space you can use on the rim. This makes for less tire on the front end, unless you step up to a 18 inch or larger rim.

Why is the dropped spindle an issue?

The inside of the rim hits the tie rod end because a dropped spindle raises the spindle pin up in the spindle, the steering knuckle arm that the tie rod attaches to stays in the stock location.

You can, and many do, use conventional coilover shocks that plug into the stock frame using a conical wound spring; however, you will run out of travel if you get into a 2 inch drop scenario and drive aggressively. You need more travel! That is why COF-42 was designed; it allows for extended travel. The upper shock mount is raised above the frame.

Note:The stock upper control arm can not be used. The arm will hit the raised shock brackets. Most tubular upper control arms will work. The Global West upper G-Plus control arm kit CTA-42a or the Global West negative roll control arm kit CNR-42 (used with tall spindles) is recommended.

Recommendations: Global West does not recommend using the stock lower a-arm. You need a purpose built lower arm for this application. We recommend using coilover lower control arm CTA-42H.

Any coilover shock can be used. We supply two coilover shocks brands, QA-1 and Penske. Global West offers QA-1 shocks (single or double adjustable) and Penske (single, double or triple).

If you are planning on lowering your car and running big tires for pro-touring or just achieving the desired look, extended travel front end kits are something you should be looking at.

The extended travel lower control arm is designed for those who want to lower their cars further then 1-1/4 inches and not use a dropped spindle. The shock mount in the arm is lowered to allow for more shock travel at a lower ride height. We recommend this control arm for ride height from 1-1/4 to 2-1/4 below stock ride height. You can run these with a dropped spindle for additional ride height.

You should know these arms will not allow you to go back to stock ride height unless you go to a longer shock absorber.

If you are planning on lowering your car and running big tires for pro-touring or just achieving the desired look, extended travel front end kits are something you should be looking at.

As coilover suspension grows in popularity and ride heights are getting lower and lower, suspension travel is becoming more limited. Dropped spindles lower the car down but can reduce the amount of back space of the rim depending on the rim size because the center line of the spindle is raised two inches and the steering tie rod ends are in the stock location. The tie rod ends up hitting the tire or inside of the rim. If this happens you will have one of two choices, either run a smaller rim width and tire size or step up too in most cases an 18 inch or larger rims.

You can use coilover shocks that plug into the stock frame using a conical wound spring; however, you can run out of shock travel if you get into a 2 inch drop scenario and you drive aggressively. You need more travel and much higher spring rates. That is why The extended travel lower control arm was designed. The shock is mounted lower in the control arm extending the shock length so there is more travel at the lowered ride height.

• For coilover application only
• Designed to lower the car further then 1-1/4 inches
• The sway bar mounting plate adds support to the ball joint area.
• Straps are used around the bushing housings, strengthening the housing to the tube.

**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.**

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.

• Lightweight aluminum with sleek clear anodize finish
• Every shock is dyne tested and serialized
• In bearing mount shocks, Viking uses steel bearings, not the inexpensive nylon race bearings like some competitors.
• 5/8' center less ground, hard chrome plated piston rods
• precision machined pistons with PTFE/bronze piston wrap
• Two year material and workmanship warranty. Double the warranty of nearly every other manufacturer!
