Description

UMI’s 2258-1R Rear Coilover Kit is the ultimate race-focused solution for 6th Gen Camaro owners demanding maximum rear-end control, consistency, and track tuning capability. Designed for serious road race, time-trial, and national-level autocross builds, this package eliminates the factory divorced spring setup. By pairing stiff 550 lb/in springs with Viking Crusader double adjustable shocks, it delivers the robust platform support required for running high-grip tires, aerodynamic upgrades, and aggressive track alignments.

Built for 2016–2024 Camaro models, the 2258-1R system integrates seamlessly into the chassis using UMI’s extreme-duty double-shear upper mounts. The coilover design provides precise ride-height and corner-weight adjustments to optimize cross-weight and rake. With its direct bolt-on installation using factory lower control arm points and zero welding required, this USA-engineered kit allows you to quickly dial in compression and rebound to master any track surface.

Detailed Features

Viking Crusader double adjustable shocks: Features race-oriented valving to provide independent tuning of compression and rebound for high-speed track stability.
550 lb/in coilover springs: The 12-inch tall, high-rate springs provide the aggressive support needed for high-grip racing compounds and aero-equipped cars.
Double-shear shock mounts: UMI's laser-cut brackets replace the weak factory single-shear setup, eliminating flex and improving suspension responsiveness.
Coilover height adjustment: Threaded shock bodies allow precise spring preload and ride-height changes, enabling perfect corner-balancing for competition.
Bearing mount shock ends: Enhances pivot articulation and prevents binding under extreme suspension travel during road racing and autocross.
Direct bolt-on installation: Attaches securely to factory chassis locations and OEM or aftermarket lower control arms using supplied premium hardware.

Product Outcomes

Maximizes corner-exit grip by allowing independent tuning of rear squat and body roll.
Enables precise corner-balancing for a perfectly neutral, competition-ready chassis.
Withstands national-level autocross and time-trial abuse without component deflection.

Installation Summary

Overview & Difficulty: Moderate DIY install requiring floor jacks, jack stands, and hand tools; 2–4 hours. Disassemble the rear suspension by removing wheels, fender liners, factory shocks, and coil springs. Bolt the UMI 2258 upper brackets into place (torque M10 nuts to 30-35 ft/lbs). Assemble the Viking coilovers (body/adjusters facing UP) with the 12-inch springs. Install the bearing mount spacers per Viking instructions. Mount the top of the shock using the 1/2-inch bolt and spacer (torque to 70 ft/lbs), and secure the lower factory bolt. Magneride vehicles must disconnect the suspension harness.

Product FAQ

Who is the UMI 2258-1R race kit intended for?
The 2258-1R kit is aimed at 2016–2024 Camaro owners focused on road race, time-trial, and high-level autocross performance, where rear suspension support and adjustability are critical.
What makes the 2258-1R a “race” kit?
The 1R uses Viking Crusader shocks with a race-oriented valving range and 550 lb/in rear springs, providing the support and control needed for high-grip tires and aggressive driving.
Can I still drive on the street with the 2258-1R kit?
You can, but the 550 lb/in springs and race-focused valving will ride significantly firmer than a street-biased setup. This kit is optimized for track performance.

Yes. The coilover design lets you adjust spring preload and ride height, enabling precise stance, rake, and corner-balance settings for competition.
