SIGNAL HILL, Calif., July 14, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Four Decades of Suspension Engineering Excellence Meets an Iconic Platform
Aldan American, the premier manufacturer of American-made performance suspension components, today announced the launch of their comprehensive 1978-1996 GM B-Body Coilover Series. This extensive new product line includes 27 precision-engineered part numbers—spanning front and rear kits—designed for a wide range of 1978–1996 GM B-Body applications.
The new GM B-Body coilover systems represent the culmination of Aldan American's 40+ years of suspension engineering expertise applied to one of the most beloved platforms in automotive history. From the Chevrolet Caprice and Impala SS to the Buick Roadmaster, these coilovers deliver modern performance while preserving the classic character that makes these vehicles so desirable.
Complete Kit Engineering
Each rear coilover kit includes everything needed for a complete transformation. The system features all new Grade 8 hardware specifically selected for ease of installation and long-term durability. Coilover shocks are available in both single-adjustable and double-adjustable configurations, allowing customers to choose their preferred level of tuning capability.
Coil springs are engineered in two rates to accommodate different vehicle configurations: standard 200-pound springs for most applications, and heavy-duty 250-pound coils for vehicles equipped with additional stereo equipment or other trunk-mounted accessories that affect rear weight distribution.
The standout feature of each kit is the laser-cut and welded upper and lower mounting brackets, precision-engineered for bolt-on installation without cutting or welding. This design philosophy makes the upgrade accessible to DIY enthusiasts while ensuring professional-quality results.
Performance and Adjustability
The coilover systems deliver 0-3 inches of adjustable drop, allowing owners to achieve their desired stance while maintaining proper suspension geometry. Dampening adjustment ranges from firm to soft, providing complete control over ride characteristics whether cruising the boulevard or attacking twisty roads.
Each coilover features Aldan American's signature billet aluminum construction, chosen for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and superior heat dissipation properties. This aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum construction dramatically reduces unsprung weight while managing heat generated during performance driving, delivering consistent performance mile after mile.
Designed for Every B-Body Enthusiast
The new coilover series addresses the needs of various B-Body owners, from daily drivers seeking improved handling to enthusiasts building show-quality vehicles. The system proves particularly popular among Impala SS owners looking to enhance their vehicle's already impressive performance credentials.
"Whether you're looking to improve your stance, dial in the perfect ride height, or you're just wanting to upgrade from old factory parts, these coilovers deliver," Rowley explained. "The installation is designed to be DIY-friendly, but the performance results are absolutely professional."
American Manufacturing Excellence
Every component is manufactured in Aldan American's Signal Hill, California facility, maintaining their commitment to American manufacturing excellence. Each system is backed by a limited lifetime warranty, reflecting their confidence in both materials and construction quality.
The complete 1978–1996 GM B-Body Coilover Series, along with detailed part numbers and configurations, will be available at https://aldanamerican.com/gm-b-body-coilover-kits/.
