The RRS Front Coil over Suspension Advantage
•RRS modular design strut conversion uses a bearing hub rather than a stub axle providing the most advanced steering geometry, ride control (reaction time) durability and serviceability in the market.
• The RRS forged steel hub increases the load bearing capacity by 20% over the original factory stub axle. Perfect for wide big diameter rims & tyres.
• User friendly 4 point dial adjustment allows you to change the shocks rebound & compression settings to go from race track, to high speed touring or cruising in seconds.
• The RRS adjustable gas shock features a patented check valve which minimizes foaming to keep shock performance fade free under all driving conditions.
• Retains standard Ford stud pattern and stud size & wheel track.
• RRS discs have a different offset to a standard Ford to allow bigger rotors within standard rims while maintaining factory wheel track width.
• Caliper mounting is designed to allow a greater adaptive design range and ease of fitment of high performance RRS calipers.
• RRS detailed instructions make installation a breeze.
• Lightweight-less weight on the nose means better weight transfer and proven, better 60 foot times at the drags.
• Reduces track scrub, a typical early Mustang or Falcon with standard suspension will vary track by up to 3" through its range of travel . The RRS strut decreases this to less than ½".
