Speedtech's new Chevelle Coilover Conversion

[Tom.A]

Those look nice and something I might want to upgrade on my car. I have a few questions though. You mention a 10" spring. I currently have Ridetech single adjustable coil overs (part#11243510) with a 8" 650# spring. It appears my shocks are 3.6" stroke. What is Speedtech suggesting for stroke? I am trying to determine if I would just need springs or if also need new shocks. I also assume I could buy the double shear shock mount with side adjustment since the current is top mount.

The Ridetech Single part # would be 24159901 which has a 5.3" stroke.

not sure what your referring to on the double shear shock mount with side adjustment???? sorry

Tom is talking about a eye mount as opposed to a stud and nut mount on the coil over.

Thanks Blake. Just to confirm further that part number is a 5.2" stroke. The other thing I wanted to be sure before I buy new shocks is the spring length on below chart suggests you use a 12" spring not 10". I know these are new item but just wondering if you have any on a completed car to confirm ride height?

We do not have any on completed cars, sometimes we find that installing the long spring is a pain for guys in the home shop so a shorter spring is easier to install.

looks good,

FWIW I run a 4.1" stroke shock with a 6" spring in the rear and a 7" stroke shock with a 8" spring in the front.

The Ride tech shocks have lots of thread on them to allow for lots of adjustment
