I am looking for a suspension kit for my 1966 oldsmobile 98 holiday coupe.

I know the chassis is the same as the Cadillac coupe deville and the Buick Electra 255. But everywhere it states that the mounting points is different, tere is the the same positions and so on.
Does anyone of you guys know, which system I can use.
I have the AccuAir E Level to compliment the suspension that I choose.
I have found 2 that might work:

RideTech 11140298
RideTech 11110298

 

No, it is not. The frame, suspension, and brakes are unique to the Oldsmobile. Parts do not interchange across divisions on the 1965-70 full size cars.

 

You'd probably have to look for a universal air ride system. I doubt any manufacturer makes one for Oldsmobiles. If there is such a thing?

 

Thank you for your answers. I hope that Ridetech is going to answer my question regarding the suspension kit

 

I have had my ‘66 98 forever (Dad bought it new). Be suspicious in the extreme about any claims Ridetech has about having any parts that for this car.

The only way I’d try their stuff (and I hear it is very good quality - for Cutlasses/442’s) is after talking with another owner of a 65-67 88 or 98 and learn about their experience.

The aftermarket parts companies here in the U.S. very often claim their parts will fit more than they do. I have a box or 2 of parts for my ‘66 big cars that “should” fit, but do not.

Your next stop would be a custom hot rod shop building you something unique, if that can be done in Denmark. You might check in with the AmCar people in Sweden to see if there’s a specialist across the Skagerrak….

The aftermarket parts companies assume that GM = Chevy, so they claim that their Chevy parts fit other GM brands. That may be true for A-body cars, but the 65-70 B and C-body cars are NOT the same. The only reason why Ridetech sells air ride systems for full size Buicks is because they fit the Riviera, which is popular to modify. These parts also just happen to fit Buick full size cars due to commonality. They do NOT fit full size cars from other divisions. Suspension arms and geometry are completely different. Frames are completely different. Steering and brakes are completely different.

 

FYI, this is what a 1966 Riviera front suspension looks like. Does this remotely resemble the parts on your Olds? (Hint: no it does not)

 

Hi Joe

No they are not even close sadly :-(

I might just go for a fixed lowering kit instead of air
