I'm, sure you can. It's a GM and I know they make a bolt in coil over set up for every other GM out there, one of them must fit the S-10 too :cool2:

I have always wanted something like that for the DSM. For weight purposes.

QA1 sells coil overs for everything......not saying they're the best quality cuz i dont know anybody who has em, but they sell coil overs for everything

speaking of a-arms, i need another set for the race car, the swap meet ones are the wrong size

this is the same problem i am running into in the tubular arms. i havent been able to find ones strong enough to mount the qa1 coil-over kit THAT USE STOCK BRAKES, if you want to do the 12" b-body brake upgrade you can get the tubular control arms for a malibu/monte/regal etc. they are the same arms.

Really?They mount in the same position?What are stock s-10 brakes sizes?Who should I call to get some more tech on it.

What does the qa1 coil over kit have to do with the brakes?Why won't it work with stock brakes?

I dont get it either, all the coil over kits i have seen for shock are basically a collar that clamps on to the chock on top and bottom and there is s threaded sleeve that buts against it and the spring goes over it all
Call Jon @ tube i'm sure he'll know the scoop

the coil over kti has nothing to do with brakes, but if you want to keep the factory brakes (10.5") you need to find someone who sells replacement control arms, the only tubular control arms i have found are for G-body's and they all require the big brake upgrade.
