RideTech Front HQ Shockwaves Ford Mustang 2015-2024
$2095.00

Ridetech HQ Series S550/S650 Mustang ShockWaves are the latest to hit the market for the popular Blue Oval muscle car. While the car still bears the 'Mustang' name, Ford has evolved the persona of the traditional pony car over the S550 & S650 generations to assume a more capable grand tourer role. As such the car has adopted an independent rear suspension layout and enjoys more capable sports-car like handling. That said, there is always room left on the table for improvement with factory muscle, and Ridetech's adjustable Shockwave front suspension allows for an aggressive yet functional stance and improved handling performance without sacrificing ride quality or comfort.

Ridetech's latest ShockWave system is sporting a fresh new look, featuring a black and gray anodized finish that pairs nicely with blue Hyperco springs. Also, HQ Series S550/S650 Mustang Front Coilovers are 24-position rebound adjustable and feature Fox Factory valving and internals. This allows for fine-tuning of suspension responsiveness, whether the car is put to use on the 1320, on the autocross, or road course use.

Additionally, these systems benefit from a new rubber lined spherical bearing integrated into the camber/caster plates, noticeably reducing the NVH that is commonly associated with performance suspensions. Together with the Fox valving and rebound adjustability, Ridetech's latest design is yet another way that these coilovers improve the performance capabilities of the S550/S650 Mustang without sacrificing ride quality.

Technology

RideTech greatly improves the ride quality and handling performance of your late model muscle car. Choose coil-over suspension, air suspension or monotube shock absorber upgrades. RideTech’s engineering team starts from the ground up with impact forged aluminum shock absorbers bodies that are vastly superior, with respect to quality, to anything offered from the factory. As such, RideTech offers an unbeatable 1,000,001 mile warranty. Like high-end exotics and race cars, RideTech shocks are monotubes. The design provides precision rebound and compression control as well as enhanced reliability. 

Coil-overs are popular upgrades for Mustangs Camaros and LX muscle. A Coilover is simply a shock surrounded by a coil spring; it places the shock and coil in one linear unit. A Coilover is a simple solution for most suspension designs, but can often be difficult to understand what you need. Fortunately, RideTech has your back with 21 years of suspension development.

Choosing a coil-over begins with two important decisions. The first is choosing the function of your vehicle. If you are building a performance car, then you will want a coil-over that has an adjustable shock. This allows the driver to tweak the “stiffness” of the suspension with a twist of a knob located on the shock. This adjustment knob controls the shock valving which controls the damping of the coil-over. This is a huge benefit for drivers who want to fine-tune their performance for the track, autocross, or the road. 

The second most important decision in choosing a coil-over is finding your desired spring rate for the coil spring. Spring rate is the force required to compress a spring 1″ and is an important factor in how comfortable your car rides and your ride height. RideTech has worked out ideal spring rates for your vehicle and intended driving style.
