Ridetech Strongarm Suspension Systems

Ridetech Strongarm suspension systems utilize an offset trailing arm with a "trussed" design which allows maximum tire width while providing the utmost in strength. The rear trailing arms have PTFE bearings, and the strut rods are outfitted with R-joint rod ends to combine the best qualities of low-friction movement, lateral stability, full range articulation, and quiet operation into one special bearing that is as home on the street as it is on the racetrack. When combined with the tubular rear crossmember, the trailing arms place the coilovers to the rear of the axle for better motion ratio and damping control while providing additional height adjustment via the movable lower coilover mounts. Features and benefits: * Lowers vehicle ride height * Mounting hardware to maintain ground and tire clearance, driveline angles, and load capacities * Bolt-on installation (no fabrication required) * Greatly improved handling performance * Ultimate ride quality

Ridetech Streetgrip Sway Bars

Most vintage OEM front sway bars were calibrated with tires and cornering loads that were radically less capable than today. Ridetech increases the diameter of the sway bars to minimize body roll through the corners and optimize handling. Incorporated into the polyurethane frame bushings is a Delrin insert to eliminate stiction and allow the sway bar to move freely and improve ride quality. In addition, many stock sway bar designs create bind and poor sway bar geometry when the vehicle is lowered. Ridetech's beefy end link-style Streetgrip sway bars eliminate that bind, correct the geometry, and reduce body roll. Where applicable, adding a rear sway bar drastically decreases body roll and increases stability. RideTech StreetGrip rear sway bars are a direct bolt-on to your OE suspension or as part of a complete StreetGrip suspension package.
