Chevrolet Bel Air Coilover Kits & Suspension Upgrades

Chevrolet Bel Air, 210, 150, Nomad Coilover Kit

Years: 1955-1957

While the Tri-Five Chevys of 1955, 1956 and 1957 are revered for their magnificent styling and the introduction of the legendary small-block, there are also several significant upgrades to the chassis.
The frame was all-new, with box sections that varied in size and shape according to placement, while a new structural arch (plenum) increased torsional rigidity. Gone was the bolt-on front suspension carrier, which was now formed as part of the frame. With a switch to ball joints, engineers designed anti-dive properties into the independent front suspension. At the rear, leaf springs mounted outside the frame rails increased stability.

Whether it’s a 1955-1957 Chevy Bel Air, 210, 150 or Nomad you’re updating, an Aldan American coilover suspension package is an excellent upgrade. For your Tri-Five, you can choose from front coilovers alone or as a kit with rear shock absorbers. The kits are 100% bolt-on with no cutting, drilling or welding required for an easy installation.

With Aldan American adjustable spring perches, you can lower the front ride height of your 1955-1957 Tri-Five by up to 2.0-inches. And with our single- and double-adjustable front coilover shocks, you can tune the suspension to match your driving style.
