Transform your Fox Body's handling with a RideTech 1979-93 Mustang Independent Rear Suspension System. It's no secret that independent rear suspensions (IRS) are superior in almost every way over a stick axle. The biggest concerns are cost and ease of installation. This independent rear suspension system replaces the stock live design with tubular upper and lower control arms utilizing custom-made spindles with S550 Mustang hubs. Camber, roll center, and toe angles were also optimized for greatly increased handling. The bolt-in design requires no welding for installation, as the IRS cradle is designed to mount to the rear frame rails and modified factory mounting points. If you want to optimize the rear suspension of your Fox Body Mustang, do it with this highly engineered IRS system so you can hit the track or street with confidence. Key features and benefits: * High-quality, no compromises manufacturing * Durable powdercoat finish for great looks and corrosion resistance * 100 percent bolt-in design requires minimal modifications * Lowers stance approximately 2 inches—reduces center of gravity without adversely affecting suspension geometry * Reduces upsprung weight creates premium ride quality * Low roll center (5 in.)—one degree of camber gain and zero bump steer inspires confident cornering for improved suspension geometry over OE suspension design and much more enjoyable to drive * 50 percent anti-squat provides excellent traction * Delrin control arm bushings eliminate deflection—no wheel hop, and no noise and no lubrication of bushings required * Retains factory track width * Compatible with mini-tubs (cradle attaches to the inside of the frame rails) * Modular design—works with Ridetech coil-overs or ShockWaves (sold separately), HQ and TQ (Triple Adjustable) versions are also available * Spindles include Moog S550 Mustang rear hubs for maximum strength, consistent braking and reduced maintenance Fitment Information: * Uses S550 (2015+) Mustang differential (not included)—new units can be purchased from Ford Performance, and Takeout units are also available * Uses shortened S550 (2015+) Mustang axles (not included)—standard strength are available from RideTech * Allows direct bolt-on of both stock SN95 Cobra (1999-2004) or S550 (2015+) rear OE or aftermarket brakes via Ridetech caliper brackets. * Works with 1999-2004 Cobra cat-back exhaust * Requires shortened drive shaft and pinion flange to U-joint adapter (use Sonnax part T35-ALFY-09 or T35-ALFY-10) * Works with Ridetech coilovers or Shockwaves, sold separately * Optional adjustable rate rear sway bar is available for additional fine-tuning

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
