Chevy Air Ride Street Challenge Kit, Complete, 1-Piece Frame, 1955-1957

Don't you just love those custom cars that pull into the show at stock ride height and then lower all the way to the ground with just the touch of a button? Or have you ever followed a classic Chevy through a turn yet he could take it 30 MPH faster than you could? You can achieve that same look and awesome handling performance with an Air Ride Street Challenge kit from Eckler's Classic Chevy. Not only do you gain full adjustability of the front and rear suspension height and performance, you also gain the advantage of a much improved ride via the Firestone air springs included in the kit. The unique double-adjustable shock absorbers on all four corners allow you to set the ride quality from extra firm all the way to soft. Double adjustable shocks allow you to set the amount of dampening on both the up and down stroke of the shock which is necessary for fine tuning the suspension for drag racing or serious street cornering. Up front, StrongArm super-strong tubular upper and lower control arms have been engineered specifically for use with the ShockWave shocks in this kit. They are designed to eliminate the troubles often experienced when using Air Ride suspension on stock control arm cars including ball joint binding and frame clearance issues. In addition, body roll is controlled with a MuscleBar front anti-sway bar. In the rear, this kit completely replaces the stock rear leaf spring suspension and upgrades it to a fully triangulated bar-type 4-link rear that simply bolts to the stock rear frame rails. The only welding required is attaching the new suspension brackets to the rear end housing. This kit also includes the RidePro compressor and 4-way ride control system. So, for the ultimate in ride quality, performance and adjustability, install an Eckler's Classic Chevy Air Ride Street Challenge kit on your classic! Did you know? Many people in our hobby refer to air springs as air bags or bags.
