Coilover Conversion Kit – Front – Aldan American (7000475) – 1978-1988 Chevrolet El Camino

This part fits 1978-1988 Chevrolet El Camino vehicles.

Upgrade your front suspension with an engineered solution designed to deliver modern handling, improved strength, and fully adjustable ride performance. The Aldan American Coilover Conversion Kit transforms your factory suspension into a high-performance system using Aldan American Single Adjustable coilovers paired with Pirate Jack tubular control arms, providing a complete bolt-on upgrade with OEM-quality fitment.

This kit features Aldan American Road Comp Single Adjustable coilovers, offering six positions of shock adjustment to fine-tune ride comfort and handling response for street performance, cruising, or aggressive driving. Each coilover is matched with Aldan American cold-wound linear coil springs, engineered to provide consistent ride quality across varying road conditions while maintaining predictable suspension control. 450 lb. small block springs are included with this kit. Ride height is fully adjustable, allowing a lowering range of approximately 1–2 inches to achieve the ideal stance and performance balance. Aldan American adjustable spanner wrench and thrust bearings included with this package making ride height adjustment even easier. All Aldan American coilovers and springs are proudly manufactured in the USA and backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Included in this system are Pirate Jack front tubular upper and lower control arms, constructed from heavy-duty tubular steel and finished in a durable black powder coat for long-lasting corrosion resistance and clean appearance. Designed to be stronger and lighter than factory components, these control arms incorporate built-in positive caster for improved steering stability, enhanced cornering performance, and better overall vehicle control.

High-quality greasable Delrin bushings reduce deflection while maintaining smooth suspension articulation, and premium ball joints are included for durability and extended service life. Offset billet cross shafts and sway bar linkage components are also included to improve alignment capability and simplify installation. This system is designed as a direct bolt-on solution for vehicles equipped with disc brakes and is recommended for use with stock-height spindles.

The suspension geometry lowers the vehicle approximately 1.0″–2.0″ overall for an aggressive stance while improving handling characteristics.

Important Installation Note:

THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS FEATURE 5/16″ WELDED ON NUTS FOR THE LOWER SHOCK MOUNT POINTS. THESE WELDED NUTS MUST BE REMOVED OR REAMED OUT TO 3/8″ FOR ALDAN AMERICAN COILOVER T-BAR INSTALLATION. MODIFIED PARTS ARE NON-RETURNABLE.

Engineered for enthusiasts who demand modern suspension performance while preserving classic muscle car character, this Aldan American system delivers precision, adjustability, and American-made quality in one complete upgrade package.
