I’m buying my buddy 95 caprice wagon or my other buddy 96 9c1 caprice this up coming week and plan on buying this same kit great work champ
if its guru approved im rocking with it
Do u have a video on how to do the front???
Great job Justin!
Thanks for the video.What is the advantage of installing coil overs?
Coil-overs allow not only valving adjustment to improve your ride quality and handling, but also offer you to lower the vehicle up to 2" to help achieve a lower stance. Which can also help with performance and handling depending on what you are looking to do with the vehicle.
You didn’t explain the rebound or compression knob adjustments and what to set them at…
Swapping a 96 roadmaster 8.5 rear end into a 87 b body caprice , Ls swapped , 26 inch rims eventually which part # will I need ?

Hi there! You can place orders on our website at www.QA1.net or through any of our dealers near you! www.QA1.net/find-a-dealer
Is there any way you could make a front coil over installation video or some type of demonstration ?
Thank you for your feedback! I am sure there is something we can do!
These work with the factory sway bar? 1996 Caprice
Love the kit.
What are the specs of the wheels?
Thanks
Darn, I was looking to see how you lowered it with the brackets. I assume moving the brackets down will take the car down?
Short answer yes. Please give our tech team a call and they will be happy to offer some recommendations! 952-985-5675
So the bend on the lower Bracket for the rear end Doesn’t sit flush with the bend on the rear end ?????
You have a link for the lower bracket for a Ford 9 inch ????
how much inch can i lower the car with this lowering kit?
So when changing the coil overs, do you not need the coil spring anymore?
Our coil-over shock setups are designed to bolt into the factory shock location and replace both the factory shock and coil spring.
im going tucking the tire. 20s wheels with 35 sidewall. are adjustable trailing arms needed? thats the level 3 handling kit.
i want to know what spring rate you used on the b body wagon?
Depending on the rear weight of the vehicle and what the goals are for the car, we typically recommend the 250-300 lb. spring rates.
Please tell us what is the advantage of installing coil overs, no one ever says....
They help you achieve a better stance, overall better handling, cornering, and driveability with adjustable shocks. Complete bolt-in replacement into the factory shock location. Pretty nice bang for the buck!
Where can i get the mounting brackets i got coilovers on ebay but no mounting brackets the car is 72 chevy impala
Hi there! Please reach out to our tech team and they can offer some recommendations! 952-985-5675
Is the Installation the same if im running a quick profromance 9 inch ????
As long as the factory locations are the same, yes.
What kit will fit a 73 impala? With the same set up in the video.
We currently only catalog non-coil-over shocks for the 73 Impala. If you are really interested in coil-overs, we may be able to make something work depending on the setup and specs of your car. Please reach out to our tech line and they can give you the best recommendation! 952-985-5675 Thanks!
Quality consumer grade impact
Will this work on my 87 Caprice Brougham?
Yup! We have front and rear coil-over kits for your car along with full suspension kits.
@@QA1TECH I appreciate definitely will look into them !
Part #? & what’s spring rate is recommended for 26 in wheels
If I’m planning on swapping my 1973 caprice rear end with a 96 impala rear end do I need to buy the 96 impala year coil over kit? Or still the 1973 caprice kit?
We do not provide a rear coil-over kit for the 73 Caprice, so you would have to modify the top mounting points to make our 96 coil-over setup work. Please give our tech team a call and they can offer some recommendations! 952-985-5675
What is the part number for this kit
It depends. Is your vehicle the same year range/GM body as this wagon? Is it a small block or a big block? Do you want double adjustable shocks like this setup? Or do you want single adjustable? We just want to be sure we give you the right part number.
What is the total height of adjustment of these including bracket adjustment? 2" 3" ???
It should adjust from .5” higher than stock to 2.5” lower than stock.
@@QA1TECH thanks assuming the front is the same?
@@214texass Yes, the front will go as low as 2".
If you want to go UP 2 inches, is that possible with these coil overs ?
No, our coil-overs were designed to lower the car up to two inches.
Is this kit available for a 74 oldsmobile delta 88?
Hi there! We currently do not catalog anything for this vehicle. We may be able to make some shocks work depending on your specs. Please measure your shocks at your desired ride height from center of eyelet to center of eyelet and call our tech team with this information. Based on that, we will be able to recommend something if we offer it! We also have a tech article and video on how to properly measure your shocks if you have further questions. Our tech team can be reached at 952-985-5675 M-F 8am-5pm CST. Thanks! www.qa1.net/tech-center/tech-articles/measuring-shocks
Will this setup fit 1970 Impala?
Hi there! We currently do not catalog anything for the 1970 Impala. We might be able to make some of our custom shocks work depending on your setup. Please reach out to our tech team for the best recommendations! 952-985-5675 Thanks!
Hey I have a 84 2 door caprice would the qa1 work for my car
It should! Give us a call and we will be able to recommend a setup for you! 952-985-5675 Thanks!
wondering on a 77 impala, at what point "how many inches lowered" do you need to look at getting extended length lower control arms for the rear?
The extended lower trailing arms are used on the 94-96 Impala. With this year range, the rear tire will move towards the front of the wheel well. The extended lower trailing arm remedies this.
Whats the part # for this kit
Hi there! I would need to know the year of the vehicle and if you are looking to run our single or double adjustable coil-over setup.
@@QA1TECH 96 ss thinking single
@@michaelhernandez7651 You would want to look at RCK52384. We recommend ordering through a dealer for the best deals on pricing. www.QA1.net/find-a-dealer
