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: * TruTurn 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.

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 1979-93 Mustang bolt-in SLA (Short-Long-Arm) front suspension systems replace the stock McPherson strut design with a billet aluminum upper control arm, tubular lower arm and spindles with S550 Mustang hubs. The factory strut design offers very little camber gain and poor overall geometry. This design greatly improves negative camber gain, which positions the tire perpendicular to the pavement through the corners without the need for excessive static camber and overly stiff spring rates. Caster, roll center and Ackerman angles were also optimized. These suspension systems are compatible with either Ridetech coilovers or Shockwave air suspension (sold separately). SLA front suspension systems are available in two fitment styles: * To fit STOCK K-Members (except 84-86 SVO) * To fit many AFTERMARKET K-Members, including Maximum Motorsports, Team Z, AJE and UPR Additional product features: * Incorporates an upper control arm to induce much-needed negative camber gain * Caster, roll center, bump steer and Ackerman angles are optimized * Bolt-in frame surrounds create attachment points for the upper control arms and the shocks. This keeps the load on the frame rails for maximum strength and reduced NVH * Upper and lower arms feature Delrin© bushings infused with PTFE to minimize stiction and eliminate the need for lubrication * Spindles include Moog S550 Mustang rear hubs for maximum strength, consistent braking and reduced maintenance * Lower control arm design improves tire clearance and steering angle 30 degrees with up to a 275mm wide tire Fitment: * Uses S550 (15-23) or SN95 (94-04) Mustang brake systems (caliper brackets sold separately) * 17 in. minimum wheel diameter * Compatible with stock and most aftermarket sway bars Specifications: * Negative camber gain: 1.25 degrees/in. * Positive caster: 7-9 degrees * Bump steer: under .050 in. * Lowers ride height: 1-2 in. * 50 lbs. lighter than stock suspension * Stock track width
