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:

 

 

  • Lower lap time by 2-4 seconds depend on the length and features of the track on a back to back test with the same tires!
  • More tire rubber on ground at 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 damper significantly less expensive –  e.g. double eyelet coilover shocks are nearly half the cost of equivalent struts which nearly pays for the conversion to SLA.
  • Inherently stronger design since components are in tension and compression instead of bending
  • Experts agrees:  Nearly every supercar uses this suspension type for a reason

All Coilovers come as a complete pair with springs and hardware.
