Been looking at your parts , not sure if you guys have Everything for a complete Street and Autocross suspension but the pieces I've looked at look to be Great Quality 👍
Hi Dave, thank you for your interest in our 68-72 Nova Kits (part #300290 - double adjustable front & rear). Aldan American is a manufacturer of coilover suspension parts, we don't manufacture steering parts. Checkout Performance Online they offer full suspension bundle packages including our coilovers and shocks. We don't currently have a full nova install but checkout our chevelle and skylark installs below for a very similar process. Chevelle: czcams.com/video/FxtYOGX1LgA/video.html Skylark: czcams.com/video/yJmTZj8G1Ek/video.html For additional questions please contact out tech line for (310)834-7478.
Mine are installed as you have done but they are incredibly hard to wind the collar up u have loosened the set screw but not to much as I am worried it will slip down stripping the thread. Also does the damping dial setting make a difference when trying to increase the ride height? The torque setting of 35 on the top mount bolt seems very loose? Any help would be appreciated as the front coil overs came with no instructions in the box and the online instructions are very vague
@benallan5477 When making ride height adjustments, be sure that the threads are clean and have some anti-seize to lubricate the threads while adjusting. The optional thrust bearings will make it much easier to adjust the spring seat. When we adjust, we do it with the wheels off the ground to reduce the spring load while making adjustments (thrust bearings Part #ALD-26 aldanamerican.com/product/thrust-bearing-kit-ald-26/ ). Top mount torque: The upper stem bushing should be tightened until the bushing starts to bulge with the wheels on the ground. The dampening dial has no bearing for adjusting ride height. Thank you for your feedback on the instruction sheets, we are working to upgrade them. For any additional questions, please give our tech team a call (310)834-7478 or reach us at Sales@aldanamerican.com
This truck still has the stock spindles and the ride height was the customer’s preference. He was looking for a 2” front and 4” rear drop. We used the front coil over kit and the shackle and hanger kit in the rear.
I like the way that truck turned out. Good job.
thank you frank!

@Aldan American Thank You
Does it bottom out ?

Why is the truck sitting so high? How much did this kit lower it?
This truck still has the stock spindles and the ride height was the customer’s preference. He was looking for a 2” front and 4” rear drop. We used the front coil over kit and the shackle and hanger kit in the rear.
@@AldanAmerican I see. Thanks for the response
