DSE Aluma-Frame Front Suspension System - Double Adjustable Shocks (032051-DDS) - 1964-1970 Ford Mustang - GM 5x4.75 in. Bolt Pattern
Transform the front end of your classic Mustang with the Detroit Speed Aluma-Frame Front Suspension System 032051-DDS. Designed for 1964-1970 Ford Mustangs, this all-aluminum suspension system combines Detroit Speed's performance-focused suspension geometry with a lightweight cast aluminum cradle, tubular control arms, coilover shocks, power rack-and-pinion steering, and an integrated splined anti-roll bar. With 6 inches of total suspension travel, the Aluma-Frame is engineered to deliver the steering precision, cornering control, ride quality, and adjustability expected from a serious modern pro-touring suspension package while retaining the Mustang's stock frame rails and inner fenders.
Part number 032051-DDS is equipped with Detroit Speed/JRi double-adjustable aluminum coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving and uses a GM 5 x 4.75-inch bolt pattern. The double-adjustable shocks provide two independent damping adjustments and a broad tuning range, giving the driver greater control over suspension behavior for street driving, aggressive performance use, and track setup. Detroit Speed's Speed-LIGN caster/camber adjusters provide precise alignment changes without additional shims, while the Detroit Tuned power rack-and-pinion steering, forged spindles, tubular control arms, and integrated anti-roll bar create a complete front suspension system designed to work together.
