Chevrolet Malibu Coilover Kits & Suspension Upgrades
1978-1983
Fourth-Gen Chevrolet Malibu Coilover Kit
Years: 1978-1983
For its fourth generation, the Chevy Malibu was downsized in virtually every dimension, including weight, aligning it more with earlier, sportier Chevelle models. Available in wagon, sedan and the exceptionally handsome Coupe configurations, plus the El Camino that rode on its chassis. Suspension was by coil spring on all four corners. An F41 Performance Package that included higher rate springs, a larger front sway bar, a rear bar, and firmer bushings could be ordered. Chevy even modified the front bumper to serve as a stiffening cross member.
Choose an Aldan American coilover suspension package to upgrade your 1978-1983 Chevrolet Malibu, which is available with or without upgraded tubular control arms that improve handling and response. 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 ride height of your 1978-1983 Malibu by up to 2.0-inches. And with our single- and double-adjustable coilover shocks, you can tune the suspension to match your driving style. Aldan even offers a brace to reinforce rear shock towers.
