CorteX Dbl A-Arm SLA Front Suspension (Entry Level) 2005-2014 S197 Mustang

CorteX short-long arm (SLA) systems are the ultimate handling solution for your vehicle, and the suspension type commonly found on supercars.

Compared to a front strut suspension an SLA has superior camber gain, roll center stability and in most cases additional tire clearance.

Vehicles: 2005-2014 S197 Mustang

Our Design Difference

• Faster, Proven in back-to-back lap times
• Grip, Reduced entry and mid-corner understeer
• Reduced static camber requirement
• Roll center stability
• Lower ride height, maintain the geometry
• Value, less expensive vs. equivalent struts
• Durable, components are in tension and compression instead of bending like competitors

Designed for use with OEM steering rack, hydraulic or EPAS (not a Mustang II or FOX or SN95)

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.

Benefits of a Well Designed SLA Suspension

• Speed, lower lap times
• Measured @ 2-4 seconds drop (depending on the length and features of the track on a back-to-back test with the same tires!)
• Much less sensitive to changes in ride height
• For example, lowering the chassis one inch only causes the roll center to drop one inch
• More tire rubber on the 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
• Consistent and predictable handling

More Bang for Your Buck 

• 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
• Social proof… nearly every supercar uses this suspension type

Competitive Design Advantage 

• 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 already available
• Easily adjustable roll center

Includes:

• Modified OEM Spindles
• K-Member
• Race-Duty Lower Arms (set)
• Upper Control Arms (set)
• UCA Mounts (set)
• Upper shock mounts (set)
• Adjustable Anti-Roll Bar Kit
• JRi Single Adjustable Shocks (other options available)
• Springs & Coil Over Hardware (pair)
• Bump Steer Kit
• Motor Mounts (set)
• EPAS rack retrofit available for 2005-2010 if desired (see options)

Works with OEM brakes for further cost saving option vs. our all-out race system.
