Pontiac GTO Coilover Kits & Suspension Upgrades
1968-1972
Second-Gen Pontiac GTO Coilover Kit
Years: 1968-1972
In 1968, the GTO featured new semi-fastback styling complete with a stylish Endura front bumper. While the overall length and wheelbase shrunk, weight went up. The GTO continued to ride on a four-wheel coil spring suspension.
While enthusiasts loved the GTO performance, handling left room for improvement. For 1970, Pontiac changed spring rates and shock absorber settings to reduce body lean in corners and improve handling.
Upgrade your 1968-1972 Pontiac GTO to a four-corner coilover suspension from Aldan America. There are separate front and rear adjustable coilover conversions available that you can order together or separately. Check out the ultimate suspension upgrade that includes high-strength tubular control arms with revised geometry to improve handling and control.
Each is a 100% bolt-on kit and does not require any cutting or welding to install. Plus, with adjustable spring perches, you can lower the ride height by up to 2.0-inches front and 3.0-inches rear to get the stance you want.

1964 – 1967 Pontiac GTO
Aldan American Pantiac GTO Suspension Upgrades
Pontiac sold 96,94 GTOs in the 1966 model, more than any other year. It was the first year the GTO was offered as its own model and not an optional package on the Tempest.
The 1965-1966 GTO featured a non-functional hood scoop. Owners could convert it into a functional cold air intake with a rare, dealer-installed kit.
Even with the upgrades, the first-gen GTOs brakes were dicey. Pontiac explored offering their 8-lug two-piece wheels with exposed drums integral to the hub, but it never made it to production. Pontiac resolved braking issues in 1967 with disc brakes.
In the 2011 motion picture “Drive,” Ryan Gosling’s character drives a 1973 Chevelle.
