QA1 78-96 GM B-Body Pro Rear Coil-Over System - Double Adjustable - 12in x 250 lb/in - Aluminum
The QA1 RCK52380 Pro Rear Coil-Over Conversion System is the ultimate bolt-in upgrade for your 1978-1996 GM B-Body (Caprice, Impala, etc.). This complete system replaces the factory leaf springs with modern double-adjustable aluminum coil-overs featuring 250 lb/in springs, giving you 2.5" to 5.5" of adjustable rear drop, vastly improved ride quality, and superior handling. With independent compression and rebound adjustment (18 positions each, for 324 possible combinations), you can fine-tune the suspension for daily driving, cruising, or aggressive cornering while dramatically reducing unsprung weight and eliminating the harsh ride of stock leaf springs.

- Double Adjustable Shocks: 18 positions of compression + 18 positions of rebound (324 possible valving combinations)
- 250 lb/in High-Travel Springs: Lighter medium rate optimized for street-driven and performance B-Body builds

- Fully Threaded Aluminum Body: Easy ride height adjustment from 2.5" to 5.5" drop
