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. We’ve always loved Fox Bodies, and we have offered suspension upgrades for the platform since the 1990s. The wait was worth it; our latest system takes these time-honored favorites 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.
Tested & Proven
We’ve tested, refined, re-engineered and tested again, stopping at nothing to build a suspension system with unmatched levels of grip and handling while still providing substantially improved ride quality over stock. 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 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.
The new Ridetech bolt-on coil-over or air suspension for the 1979-1993 Ford Mustang is a game changer; it’s a ground-up redesign that provides all the right suspension geometry, enabling the Fox Mustang to bite as well as it barks.
Features & Benefits
- Camber gain of more than 1 degree/inch of travel keeps the tire planted. No need for excessive static camber settings.
- Achieves excellent grip with a ride quality-friendly spring rate. No need to run ultra-stiff springs.
- Eliminates noises in strut tower common to strut tower-mounted coilover systems
- Increased steering angle and/or wheel backspacing made possible by the geometry of the lower control arm; the frame rail becomes the limiting factor.
- Increased caster angle (7 degrees or more is possible), improves steering feel.
- Direct bolt-on 15-22 S550 Mustang brakes and wheel hubs
- Works with all SN95 brakes
- Minimum wheel size 17”
- Can be used with stock K-member (excluding SVO) or a variety of aftermarket K-members, including Maximum Motorsports, Team Z, AJE & UPR
- Utilizes stock steering rack
- Retains track width of factory control arms
- 275 tire is possible but it will limit how low you can run the car due to interference with the fender.
- 50lbs lighter than stock suspension
Looking for a complete front suspension system for a 1988 foxbody using a coyote swap. Please forward any information on what will be available and timeframe of when the products will be sold. Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
Sema release!
Nice. I saw this today at NMRA .would be nice in my 84GT.
I am doing a Gen3 10r80 in my 90 Foxbody and I at this point will be running maximum motorsports K member , coil overs with Koni yellows and A arms but I want the best ride quality and handling money can buy and this looks exciting. Please let me know If I can still run the maximum K member and bolt up your new dual A arm suspension on my car. Thanks Derek
yes works with most k members on the market.
I would love to have this setup on my 1990 Mustang Coupe. Are there any plans for 4 lug hubs? Only asking because I have some 17 inch wheel I would like to keep when moving to this setup. Are there any plans to produce your own k-member?
no plans on 4 lugs, sorry
I can’t wait to see the finished product. I have an 84 Cougar that would be perfect for this.
Any SLA on the horizon for the 94-04? Very similar to the Fox in terms of suspension geometry aside from spindles, track width, etc.
most likely!
Will the new 79-93 Mustang fox body suspension work with other fox body models? Like the 83-88 fox body Thunderbird and Cougar. Thanks
we shall see, haven’t tried to fit one yet.
Put me down for one of these foxbody suspension systems
I have bmr k-member and would love to remove my shock Tower coil over suspension will this work for the 1995 mustangs coyote swap.
this front end only fits 79-93 so far, it will require a few changes to adapt to sn95 cars
Will this work on a 85 Mercury Marquis? If so I’m definitely on board with front and rear setup’s. I’m definitely sold.
not sure, after we release it for the fox body, we will work on other fitments.
How soon is “coming soon”?! This looks awesome
look to release in a few weeks
Patiently waiting 🙂
This is exciting. Glad I didn’t order from the “other guys” yet.
Any idea on pricing yet? I’m holding off buying other suspension mods until we see the price….
Very soon, waiting on a few pieces to get final costing data.
This looks awesome! Rear diff in pics looks like 9″. Will standard 8.8 work too? Also, SIMA has come and gone – any news on release timing?
I’m stoked about this new concept, but my 91 fox body is sporting a 460 big block. Will this system work for me? Thanks, Stoked.
no issues on the motor, we can just change the spring rate on the coilover.
Come on guys gimme gimme. 🙂
When will this be available? I have a ’79 coupe that would want the front and rear set up.
I want the whole kit front to rear for my 86 notch back really how much am I looking at i need this for 2023
When will this be available? The anticipation is killing me!!! I need this for my notch!
Waiting on a supplier for ball joints. We hope to have the kit available this month. Sorry for the delay!
My 93 Notch needs the SLA frontend, any cost info yet?
Waiting on a supplier for ball joints. We hope to have the kit available this month. Sorry for the delay!
Will this keep the front wheels in the stock location or will it allow for some forward offset like some of the MM kits do? If the latter, will it need to be specified at purchase time or will it be adjustable during the installation?
the kit works with the MM k-member, so yes you can adjust the wheels.
I’m currently installing your complete suspension kit on a 1987 chevy S10. Not back on the road yet, but the quality and ease of installation is outstanding. I am also the original owner of a 1993 Mustang Cobra (26,000 miles). Can’t wait to learn more about this new product. looks like I have found my next project.
Hoping for an update on this, gonna need to order a suspension for my project soon and would prefer it to be this one…
Any updates on the system?
balljoints are due here middle of june, Sorry for the delay!
Any updates on the rear system?
All new Independent design in the works!
Release soon I hope?
Middle of june, The ball joints will finally be here!
Any timeframe for the rear suspension release?
shooting for december
I hope you offer this type of SLA suspension for 2005-2014 Mustangs. The biggest advantage they have over struts is that the geometry stays optimized over a much wider range of suspension travel so it doesn’t have to be as stiff.
