The long awaited, heavily tested, and much anticipated new SLA suspension for Fox Body Mustangs is now available from the folks at Ridetech! We’ve seen this kit in person and can tell you that when they let us take a peek at it the first time at Fordfest in Bowling Green last fall, we were not the only ones that were excited. The crowds that flocked to their demo car were blown away by how completely this new system transforms the car. All the details and info are below, and kits are shipping as we speak. If you want more info, or to order a system, use the link below to check out all the options. This kit will make your Fox Body Mustang ride and handle like none other.
| After extensive research, development and real-world testing, our front suspension system for the 1979-1993 Ford Mustang is in stock and ready to ship. The wait was worth it; our latest system takes Fox bodies to a whole new level. |
|
| While designing this kit, we set out to fix all of the limits and constraints of the ’80s Ford platform while keeping the system simple to bolt-on and tune for everyone’s performance needs. |
|
| We’ve tested, refined, re-engineered and tested again, stopping at nothing to build a suspension system with unmatched levels of grip. It’s adjustable for both road and track, making it the perfect setup for performance-minded enthusiasts.
Available with either coil-overs or Ridetech Shockwave air suspension options, the Fox body front suspension kit includes FOX Shocks, specially engineered upper and lower control arms, and new spindles. |
|
| This kit will work with both stock (excluding SVO) and aftermarket K-members. We have an independent rear suspension kit in the works, so be on the lookout for it later this year. |

- Increased steering angle and/or wheel backspacing made possible by the geometry of the lower control arm (the frame rail becomes the limiting factor).
