DSE Aluma-Frame Front Suspension System - Double Adjustable Remote Shocks (032051-RDS) - 1964-1970 Ford Mustang - GM 5x4.75 in. Bolt Pattern
Take your classic Mustang's front suspension to a serious pro-touring level with the Detroit Speed Aluma-Frame Front Suspension System 032051-RDS. Engineered for 1964-1970 Ford Mustangs, this all-aluminum system combines Detroit Speed's performance-focused suspension geometry with 6 inches of suspension travel, a lightweight cast aluminum cradle, tubular control arms, power rack-and-pinion steering, and an integrated splined anti-roll bar. The result is a complete front suspension package designed to deliver sharper steering response, confident handling, and excellent ride quality on both the street and track while retaining the factory frame rails and inner fenders.
Part number 032051-RDS is the GM 5 x 4.75-inch bolt-pattern configuration and includes Detroit Speed/JRi double-adjustable remote-canister aluminum coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving. These shocks combine the tuning capabilities of the double-adjustable design with a gas-charged remote canister for additional damping control. Billet aluminum remote canister mounts secure the canisters to the vehicle, while Speed-LIGN caster/camber adjusters provide quick and precise alignment changes without additional shims. Combined with Detroit Tuned rack-and-pinion steering, forged spindles, tubular control arms, and an integrated anti-roll bar, this is the premium Aluma-Frame shock configuration for builders who want extensive suspension tuning capability.
