DSE Aluma-Frame Front Suspension System - Double Adjustable Shocks (032050-DDS) - 1964-1970 Ford Mustang
Transform the front suspension of your classic Mustang with the Detroit Speed Aluma-Frame Front Suspension System 032050-DDS. Engineered for 1964-1970 Ford Mustangs, this complete performance suspension system replaces the factory-style front suspension architecture with Detroit Speed's lightweight cast aluminum cradle, performance suspension geometry, rack-and-pinion steering, coilovers, tubular control arms, and integrated anti-roll bar. With 6 inches of total suspension travel and a high-strength aluminum structure, the Aluma-Frame is engineered to deliver the steering response, grip, adjustability, and road manners expected from a serious modern performance build while retaining the Mustang's stock frame rails and inner fenders.
Part number 032050-DDS is the Ford 5 x 4.5-inch bolt-pattern configuration equipped with Detroit Speed/JRi double-adjustable aluminum coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving. Two independent shock adjustments provide a broad tuning range for dialing in suspension response around the vehicle, driver, tires, and intended use. The system also incorporates Speed-LIGN caster/camber adjusters for fast, precise alignment changes without additional shims, Detroit Tuned power rack-and-pinion steering, tubular control arms, forged Detroit Speed spindles, and a splined integrated anti-roll bar. With a 400 lbs/in spring rate and 10-inch spring free length, this package is built for enthusiasts who want serious road and track capability without giving up street-friendly ride quality.
