CorteX Double A-Arm SLA Front Suspension 2005-2014 S197 Mustang
CorteX short-long arm (SLA) suspension systems (also known as a double-wishbone suspension) are a no-compromise solution to anyone that wants the ultimate handling solution for their vehicle. There really is no substitute for a properly designed SLA suspension. Compared to a front struts suspension an SLA has superior camber gain, roll center stability, and in most cases additional tire clearance. Here are some key benefits to a properly designed SLA suspension:
If you are unfamiliar with the SLA design please take a look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_wishbone_suspension
If you are unfamiliar with the MacPherson strut suspension design please please see this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacPherson_strut
- Lower lap time by 2-4 seconds depending on the length and features of the track on a back-to-back test with the same tires!
- More tire rubber on the ground in any given situation.
- Reduced entry and mid-corner understeer without loss of rear-end grip!
- Reduced static camber requirement
- Roll center much more stable both vertically and laterally making handling more consistent and predictable
- Much less sensitive to changes in ride height. For example, lowering the chassis one inch only causes the roll center to drop one inch.
- High-quality dampers are significantly less expensive – e.g. double eyelet coilover shocks are nearly half the cost of equivalent struts which nearly pay for the conversion to SLA.
- Inherently stronger design since components are in tension and compression instead of bending
- Experts agree: Nearly every supercar uses this suspension type
Advantage over competitors products:
- Quicker and easier to install
- Less expensive and better value
- Utilized more advanced and heavy-duty OEM steering rack including the electronic power assist steering (EPAS)
- Stiffer, more reliable, and more adjustable spindle/hub assembly with integrated wheels speed sensors
- Damper and spring loads are fed into shock towers at the OEM load-bearing point eliminating the excessive deflection found in competitors systems
- Stronger and stiffer k-member, shock mounts, and control arms
- More advanced damper selection
- Wide range of brake system options available
- Easily adjustable roll center
Designed for use with OEM steering rack, hydraulic or EPAS not a Mustang II or FOX or SN95!
