Bundle any E5 compressor system and save The Ridetech Air Suspension System is the perfect system to provide modern ride quality and handling while providing that ultra-low show stance.

The package contains front upper and lower control arms, tall spindles, steering arms, inner and outer tie rods, front MuscleBar, a Bolt-In 4 Link System and 4 HQ Series Shockwaves for every corner of your vehicle.

The benefit of buying a complete suspension system is that it takes all of the guesswork out when purchasing a new suspension. Ridetech has spent hours collecting data to find a perfect spring rate and components for your vehicle's performance and ride quality.

Features:
  • Upper StrongArms feature corrected ball joint angles for the tall spindles. The upper ball joint have been moved back to allow for additional caster setting to improve high speed stability and steering feel.
  • Billet cross shafts are included that feature a lowered mounting point to increase camber gain and correct suspension geometry.
  • They house a stout double sheer lower shock mount.
  • Lower StrongArms feature a unique design that combines the control arm and strut rod into a stronger, more appealing 1 piece design.
  • Additional caster is designed into the arms and includes a robust bearing in an aluminum housing at the front mount to replace the soft factory rubber units.
  • TruTurn System includes tall spindles which induce more negative camber gain to maximize tire contact patch during cornering.
  • It also includes steering arms, center link adapter, tie rods and adjusters to virtually eliminate bumpsteer, correct Ackerman angle and allow for wider tires. Includes heavy duty frame rail brace.??
  • Tubular Frame Brace replaces the factory brace, heavy-duty design to reduce flex and provide greater clearance with oil pan and steering components. This brace is not compatible with Shelby steering components. The longer pitman and idler arms cause interference.
  • OptionalHub Spindles offer the same geometry improvements as the pin spindle but add the performance and simplicity of late model Mustang hubs and brakes.
  • Minimum 17 inch wheels. Hubs fit Ford car 5 x 4.5 inch lug pattern and include 14mm studs.
  • HQ Series Shockwaves 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 the rebound knob is located at the top of the shock for under hood access. They come standard with a 1,000,0001 Mile Warranty.
  • Interested in Auto Cross or Road Course Racing? Consider the TQ Series Shockwaves which add remote reservoirs with high and low speed compression adjustments.
  • Front MucleBar Sway Bar helps reduce body roll and includes the PosiLink end links that provide immediate engagement between the chassis and control arms. Includes billet aluminum frame straps (anodized black) and low friction bushings.
  • Bolt On 4-Link greatly improves traction, handling and ride quality.
  • Installation does not require the any major 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 bearing that is as home on the street as it is on the racetrack.
  • Weld-on lower axle brackets are available if using an aftermarket axle housing without stock style leaf spring pads. Part 70010122, sold separately.

Technology

RideTech greatly improves the ride quality and handling performance of your late model muscle car. Choose coil-over suspension, air suspension or monotube shock absorber upgrades. RideTech’s engineering team starts from the ground up with impact forged aluminum shock absorbers bodies that are vastly superior, with respect to quality, to anything offered from the factory. As such, RideTech offers an unbeatable 1,000,001 mile warranty. Like high-end exotics and race cars, RideTech shocks are monotubes. The design provides precision rebound and compression control as well as enhanced reliability. 

Coil-overs are popular upgrades for Mustangs Camaros and LX muscle. A Coilover is simply a shock surrounded by a coil spring; it places the shock and coil in one linear unit. A Coilover is a simple solution for most suspension designs, but can often be difficult to understand what you need. Fortunately, RideTech has your back with 21 years of suspension development.

Choosing a coil-over begins with two important decisions. The first is choosing the function of your vehicle. If you are building a performance car, then you will want a coil-over that has an adjustable shock. This allows the driver to tweak the “stiffness” of the suspension with a twist of a knob located on the shock. This adjustment knob controls the shock valving which controls the damping of the coil-over. This is a huge benefit for drivers who want to fine-tune their performance for the track, autocross, or the road. 

The second most important decision in choosing a coil-over is finding your desired spring rate for the coil spring. Spring rate is the force required to compress a spring 1″ and is an important factor in how comfortable your car rides and your ride height. RideTech has worked out ideal spring rates for your vehicle and intended driving style.
