PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

UMI’s bolt-in rear coilover kit allows for full adjustability of ride height, spring rate, and damping for 1978-1988 GM G-Body vehicles. The kit includes a direct bolt-in upper mount reinforcement for a 2-½” racing coilover with T-Bar. The lower bracket, designed using FEA, bolts in using the standard trailing arm mounting hole and an additional reinforcement hole. It features a multi-position design for fine tuning of ride height and shock location. The Viking shock included is 19-way adjustable in both compression and rebound. Coilover springs are available in 110lb and 150lb rates for different applications. There is no cutting required, and the car can be returned to stock if desired. The kit also works with UMI P/N 3010 weld-on relocation brackets. Optional Spanner Wrench & Thrust Bearing Kit: The spanner wrench tool is used for adjusting vehicle height while the shock remains mounted. The thrust bearing kit is recommended for easier adjustments between the spring and spring seat attached to the shock. Optional Shock Tower Brace P/N 3055: Designed for additional chassis reinforcement by tying the rear shock towers together. It is designed to clear most popular exhaust systems but fitment with all exhaust systems is not guaranteed. Overall, UMI’s rear coilover kit offers adjustability, durability, and performance for GM G-Body vehicles.

Fitment Note: Our coilover brackets are designed for factory rear end housings and may not fit aftermarket rear ends. Rear shocks may not clear all exhaust tail pipes. The kit is designed for 2”-3” lowering.

About Viking Performance

Viking Performance, Inc. specializes in high-performance double adjustable shock absorbers and related products. Founded in 2011 by experienced racing enthusiasts, the company identified a gap in the market for affordable double adjustable shocks, allowing customers to optimize their vehicle's ride quality by independently tuning compression and rebound settings. By focusing solely on these products, Viking keeps prices competitive with single adjustable shocks, offering better performance without unnecessary costs.

Viking conducts all aspects of design, research, and manufacturing in-house, ensuring quick responses to market changes. The company has received prestigious awards like SEMA's Best Engineered Award and has expanded its product line to include various shock types, such as patented race-only Crusader shocks and lightweight aluminum struts. With a commitment to value and quality, Viking aims to provide exceptional products for racing and performance enthusiasts at accessible prices.
