Why Choose the ZX Series for Your Mustang?
If you're focused on more than just lowering your Mustang, the ZX Series delivers the next level of suspension control. The three-way damping means you're not stuck with a one-size-fits-all setup - you can tailor how the car transitions into and out of corners, how it behaves over mid-speed bumps, and how it recovers. On the S197 chassis, where weight transfer and balance are key, that adjustability becomes a serious advantage. Whether you're carving canyon roads, autocrossing, or taking your Mustang to the track, the E-09-ZX gives you the toolkit to dial in ride height, spring rate, and damping response - all in one unified package.
FAQs
What does "three-way adjustable damping" mean?
It means you have separate adjustment knobs for low-speed compression (body roll and slower suspension movement), high-speed compression (sharp bumps or quick inputs) and rebound (how the shock recovers). This level of control allows precise tuning of how your Mustang reacts across different surfaces and driving styles. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
Can I adjust ride height without affecting the spring or preload?
Yes - height adjustment is independent of spring compression so you avoid the common trade-off of lowering stance and losing suspension travel. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
Are custom spring rates available?
Absolutely. The default is 6 kg/mm front and 4.5 kg/mm rear, but you can order custom spring rates or upgrade to Swift Springs to match your build goals. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
Is this kit suitable for street use?
While built for track performance, the ZX Series remains fully usable on the street. The adjustability gives you comfort when you want it and performance when you need it - just dial it in accordingly.
