Product Description

The Ridetech 11266510 Rear HQ Coil-Over kit pairs monotube shocks with 12" Hyperco coil springs to replace the rear leaf-spring setup on 1968-1974 Nova-platform cars. It's purpose-built to mate with Ridetech's bolt-on 4-Link system, so it's not a standalone upgrade - the 4-Link is required for installation.

Fine-thread pinch-clamp adjusters make ride height easy to dial in, and the anodized body plus Kevlar-lined bearings keep the setup corrosion- and noise-resistant over time. It's aimed at Nova, Acadian, Ventura, Omega, and Apollo owners already running (or planning to run) a Ridetech 4-Link who want tunable rear coil-over control instead of factory leaf springs.
