Extended travel coilover front suspension kits are available for 1964, 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1972, Chevelle, GTO, Cutlass, Skylark and other a-body applications from Global West Suspension. 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 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 you may ask? 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 you 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. (See the photo above). The stock upper control arm can not be used. The arm will hit the raised shock brackets. Most tubular upper control arms will work. Global West upper G-Plus control arm kit CTA-42a or Global West's negative roll control arm kit CNR-42 (used with tall spindles)is recommended. Global West doesn't 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). Complete kits are available ready to go (see other listings). 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.
