HQ FRONT SHOCKWAVES,68-72 GM A-BODY,CHEVELLE,EL CAMINO,GTO,CUTLASS

Brand New Ridetech Front HQ Shockwaves. This kit fits 1968-1972 GM A-Body with Compressor & StrongArms (Part #11243001).

Our patented solution for a simplified air suspension system just keeps getting better. The ShockWave mounts just like a Coil-over and replaces the coil spring with an adjustable air spring for a huge range of tuning options. It provides a simple, high-tech way to provide the ultimate in adjustable suspension design. With more configuration options than ever before, the ShockWave is the premier foundation for a Ridetech air suspension system. Everyone knows you need to hook up your horsepower to go fast. Since the shock absorber is really what controls how the suspension works, it plays a big role. Whether you’re running in a straight line or going around corners, it’s all about traction: traction going forward; traction going sideways. A drag-race car needs to come up softer and go down harder. A car that turns needs to minimize body roll. The requirements are different, but a shock that offers variable valving plus a wide range of travel can work effectively in both applications. Get an adjustable shock and tune it until it delivers the performance and/or ride quality that you want – then continue experimenting whenever track or road conditions change. If you want to take your street machine to the drag strip, you can make the front end fly up a little higher to transfer more weight and launch harder. If you want to autocross it, you can dial in the extra stiffness that makes it handle better. Dollar for dollar, we can’t think of anything that offers so much potential performance, or is so easy to install and adjust.

NOTE: This product requires the use of Ridetech StrongArms for Proper Installation. This product must be used in conjunction with an air compressor and control system.
