SHOCK IN COIL CONVERSION: In our opinion the best thing you can do for you restorations suspension is to get rid of those lever shocks and go to tubular shocks or ultimately a coil over shock system. We offer brackets as do other after market suppliers which allow you to use tubular shocks. But the ultimate system is to convert to a shock in coil. To do this you must send us your swing arms and rear springs. We will modify the swing arms with the application of a machined aircraft grade aluminum plates which bolt to the bottom of the spring mount which will have a hole placed strategically to pass the lower pin of the shock absorber. The aluminum plate is designed in such a way that removal of the shock absorber in future maintenance is very easy The spring now goes over the shock and the entire assembly is rotated to meet the upper spring tower mount point. The upper pin of the shock is then inserted through the hole on the tower and secured with the bushings and nuts. The shock is now contained in the spring and both now rotate on the same axis

The benefits of this are many, but simply put it is the best system for performance suspensions today. The spring flexes around the shock axis and forces exerted by either are directly applied to the same surface in line with one another. There is no loss of energy due to different locations of geometrical centers. In short it is efficient and the most efficient relationship of each component to one another.

You get the following items with this conversion.

Two modified swing arm assemblies (your parts modified)
Two shock absorbers (Monroe or Gabriel brand. Sorry, perform- ance shocks will not fit.)
Two sets of new swing arm bushings
8 hex bolts and washers
Two sets of rubber spring seats
Assembly of the system on your frame
