Ridetech Axle Brackets

Ridetech makes a sweet 4-link system that comes with the brackets needed for attaching it to the stock rear axle. When not running the stock rear axle, you'll need Ridetech axle brackets. These steel brackets provide multiple mounting holes for the best fit and will need to be welded onto the aftermarket axle. When it comes to building a muscle car or road warrior, it's commonplace to install a stronger rear axle. For a sure fit and a great ride, get Ridetech axle brackets.

Ridetech 1967-69 Camaro/Firebird Complete Coilover Suspension Systems

Ridetech 1967-69 Camaro/Firebird complete coilover suspension systems include everything you need to completely upgrade your existing suspension. The package contains front upper and lower Strongarm control arms, tall spindles, front MUSCLEBar, a rear bolt-on 4-link, and four HQ Series coilover shocks for every corner of your vehicle. The benefit of buying a complete suspension system is that it takes all the guesswork out of what are the best parts to purchase. Ridetech has spent hours collecting data to find a perfect spring rate and components for your vehicle's performance and ride quality. Ridetech complete coilover systems include: * Ridetech tall spindles will induce more negative camber gain to maximize tire contact patch during cornering. It also offers a 2 in. pin drop which allows for the use of longer shocks creating more suspension travel. * Upper Strongarms feature corrected ball joint angles for the tall spindles. The upper ball joints have been moved back to allow for additional caster setting to improve high speed stability and steering feel. Offset slugs are also available for additional caster. Injection molded Delrin bushings with 13 percent PTFE are used to reduce deflection and stiction. * Lower Strongarms feature a double sheer lower mount for increased strength. The lower shock mount is dropped to increase suspension travel and moved the lower ball joint forward to increase caster settings while keeping the wheel centered in the wheel opening. Injection molded Delrin bushings with 13 percent PTFE are used to reduce deflection and stiction. * HQ Series coilover shocks utilize an impact forged aluminum body and monotube design to deliver excellent ride quality and handling. The rebound knob is located at the top of the shock for underhood access. * Front MUSCLEBar helps to reduce body roll and creates room for wider front tires.

Ridetech 1967-69 Camaro/Firebird HQ Coil-Over Systems

Ridetech 1967-69 Camaro / Firebird HQ coilover systems include everything you need to upgrade your existing suspension and give your muscle car an aggressive lowered stance with modern drivability. The packages contain front upper and lower control arms, tall spindles, a front sway bar, a rear 4-link, and four HQ Series coilovers for every corner of your vehicle. Buying a complete suspension system removes all the guesswork. Ridetech has spent hours collecting data to find a perfect spring rate and components for your vehicle's performance and ride quality. Product features: * Tall "pin" spindles will induce more negative camber gain to maximize tire contact patch during cornering. They also offer a 2 in. drop—which allows for the use of longer shocks, creating more suspension travel. Compatible with all brake kits designed to fit the stock disc brake spindle. * Optional "hub" spindles offer the same geometry improvements as the pin spindle but add the performance and simplicity of late model Corvette hubs and brakes. Uses C5/C6/C7 Corvette hubs for maximum strength, consistent braking and reduced maintenance. (Hubs not included.) Compatible with C5/C6 Corvette brake systems, OE and aftermarket (caliper brackets included). Minimum 17 in. wheels. * Upper Strongarms feature corrected ball joint angles for the tall spindles. The upper ball joints have been moved back to allow additional caster settings to improve high-speed stability and steering feel. Offset slugs are also available for additional caster. Injection-molded Delrin© bushings with 13 percent PTFE reduce deflection and stiction. * Lower Strongarms feature a double sheer lower mount for increased strength. Ridetech has also dropped the lower shock mount to increase suspension travel and moved the lower ball joint forward to increase caster settings while keeping the wheel centered in the wheel opening. Injection-molded Delrin© bushings with 13 percent PTFE are used to reduce deflection and stiction. * HQ Series coilovers utilize an impact-forged aluminum body and monotube design to deliver excellent ride quality and handling. They allow fine-tuning of the ride quality and handling via the rebound adjustment knob, located at the top of the shock, for under-the-hood access. They come standard with a 1,000,0001 Mile Warranty. * Front sway bar reduces body roll and creates room for wider front tires. Includes billet aluminum frame straps (anodized black) and low friction bushings. * Bolt-on 4-link dramatically improves traction, handling, and ride quality. Installation does not require significant modifications to the floor pan and requires only minimal welding to the axle tube. Works with mini-tubs. All links are double adjustable with R-joint rod ends, which combine the best qualities of low friction movement, lateral stability, full range articulation, and quiet operation into one special street/strip bearing. Upgrades: * Tru-Turn System: The early Camaro/Nova front-ends have very poor suspension geometry; the tires lean outward around turns, the bump steer is terrible, and there's little room to run a wide wheel because of the OEM steering arm interference with the inside of the wheel. The Tru-Turn system resolves ALL these issues; the tires now lean INTO the turn, the bump steer is UNDER .050 in. through 5 in. of suspension travel, and you now have clearance to run up to a 10 in. wide wheel with a 275mm tire! Compatible with both the Ridetech "pin" and "hub" spindles. * Rear sway bar: The addition of the rear sway bar is for the true track car. Wide tires plus big horsepower typically mean faster corner speeds. The MUSCLEBar sway bar helps keep those rear tires hooked up through the corner. * Weld-on lower axle brackets are available for aftermarket axle housing without stock-style leaf spring pads. Part number 70010122 is sold separately.

Ridetech Ball Joints

By installing a taller set of Ridetech ball joints, you reposition the control arms to dramatically improve the OEM camber curve and give your car a much more stable feel through the corners. Why taller ball joints? OEM muscle car front suspension geometry usually creates positive camber when cornering. This means that the loaded tire leans away from the turn--a huge compromise in cornering performance and feel. Ridetech ball joints help optimize handling with real-world street tires that will see thousands of highway and backroad miles. They are direct replacements for OEM ball joints and are easy to install--no cutting, welding, or fabrication is required, as well as no modifications to the fuel lines, brake lines, or exhaust.

All links are double adjustable with R-joint rod ends, combining the best qualities of low friction movement, lateral stability, full range articulation, and quiet operation into one special street/strip bearing. Upgrades: * Early Camaro/Nova front-ends have very poor suspension geometry—the tires lean outward around turns, the bump steer is bad, and there's little room to run a wide wheel because of the OEM steering arm interference with the inside of the wheel. The Tru-Turn System resolves ALL these issues; the tires now lean INTO the turn, the bump steer is UNDER .050 in. through 5 in. of suspension travel, and you now have clearance to run up to a 10 in. wide wheel with a 275mm tire! Compatible with both the Ridetech "pin" and "hub" spindles. * The addition of the rear sway bar is for the true track car. Wide tires plus big horsepower typically means faster corner speeds. The MUSCLEBar sway bar helps keep those rear tires hooked up through the corner. * Compressor Sytems: Ridetech offers its Ridepro E5 air suspension control system as a pre-assembled, all-in-one module as the "Airpod"; or you can purchase the Ridepro E5 system as a component kit to install how you like.

Ridetech Wishbone Brace Kits

Ridetech Wishbone brace kits are designed to give the added rear suspension support required for higher horsepower V8 applications and are for use with Ridetech's Wishbone rear suspension systems. Per Ridetech, they have encountered inconsistencies in the welding on the OEM gas tank crossmembers that can affect the overall strength of the crossmember. For peace of mind, they recommend using their Wishbone brace kits on high-horsepower or V8-swapped trucks.
