![]() Look, Ford was on the right track with the original design, but it’s been 50 years and we’ve learned a lot.įor instance, caster. Up front we call in our MOD 1 Front Suspension Kit, a complete kit that replaces the stock upper and lower control arms, strut rods, shocks, sway bar, and bushings but doesn’t reengineer it. It looks cool, it works great, and you can lay it all out on the autocross then drive over railroad tracks with a cup of coffee in your hand on your way home. By putting a pivot point between a pushrod tied to the rear end housing and the shock itself, we could lay the shocks down horizontally, giving us all the room we needed (and a bonus point of adjustment). So we adopted technology more commonly seen on formula 1 cars than in Detroit, a cantilever system. ![]() The only problem was we couldn’t fit it under the rear floor of the Mustang without giving it an SUV ride height. That’s why we designed our MOD 2 rear to incorporate a full sized shock. And no amount of dialing up or dialing down the valving seems to help. Maybe they’re cushy on the street, but they toss you around on the track. Maybe they’re okay on a track, but they’ll break your back on the way home. Most rear systems are designed to do one thing well. You see shock length is ultimately what’s responsible for the ride quality and capability of the shock. We put the coilovers in trunk for a reason: shock length. Yeah, it looks badass but honestly the looks were an afterthought. How many classic Mustangs have you seen with the coilovers in the trunk?
