RIDETECH SYSTEM INCLUDES:
TALL 2" DROP SPINDLES:
THE RIDETECH SPINDLE IS A HEAVY-DUTY FORGING THAT IS APPROXIMATELY 1.75" TALLER, BALLJOINT-TO-BALLJOINT, THAN THE OEM SPINDLE. THIS BASIC GEOMETRY CHANGE INCREASES THE CAMBER GAIN DURING SUSPENSION COMPRESSION, ALLOWING THE TIRE TO LEAN INTO THE TURN INSTEAD OF AWAY FROM THE TURN. THE RIDETECH SPINDLE ALSO HAS A PIN HEIGHT THAT IS 2" HIGHER THAN THE OEM SPINDLE. THIS MEANS THAT YOUR CAR WILL SIT 2" LOWER THAN IT WOULD WITH THE OEM SPINDLE. FOR USE WITH DISC BRAKES.
FRONT UPPER AND LOWER STRONGARMS:
WHAT SAYS "PERFORMANCE" MORE THAN A SET OF TUBULAR CONTROL ARMS! AFTER ALL OF THE TIME AND EFFORT EXPENDED ON YOUR RIDE, YOU DEFINITELY CANT LET YOUR STAMPED OEM CONTROL ARMS DETRACT FROM ALL THAT WORK. FINISH YOUR SUSPENSION OFF WITH THESE NEW TUBULAR CONTROL ARMS. BUILT WITH ALL OF THE CARE AND EXPERIENCE YOU HAVE COME TO EXPECT FROM US, THESE TUBULAR CONTROL ARMS ARE A PRECISION-ENGINEERED SOLUTION FOR BALL JOINT BINDING AND FRAME CLEARANCE ISSUES THAT CAN HAUNT SOME VEHICLES. WHEN YOU COMBINE THE PERFORMANCE BENEFITS WITH THE ELEGANT DESIGN OF THESE ARMS, THERE IS NO BETTER CHOICE ON THE MARKET.
DEVELOPMENT: STRONGARMS ARE DEVELOPED BY RIDETECH IN JASPER, INDIANA, ON AN ACTUAL RUNNING, DRIVING VEHICLE. THIS ALLOWS US TO PROPERLY ADDRESS ALL FITMENT AND PERFORMANCE ISSUES. IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO DOCUMENT AN INSTALLATION, DEMONSTRATE THE INSTALLATION TO OUR SALES TECHS, AND ALLOWS ONGOING EVALUATION OF THE PERFORMANCE OF THE STRONGARMS.
DESIGN: RIDETECH THINK THE BEST WAY TO DESIGN ANY COMPONENT IS TO KEEP IT SIMPLE. THAT IS WHY STRONG ARMS ARE DESIGNED WITH AS FEW COMPONENTS AS POSSIBLE. THE NEW 4-AXIS TUBING BENDER ALLOWS PRECISE, REPEATABLE BENDS THAT NO OTHER MACHINE CAN ACHIEVE. WE CAN CREATE ELEGANT TUBING BENDS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE REQUIRE SEVERAL SEPARATE WELDED COMPONENTS.
COMPONENTS: POWDERCOATED IN A SATIN BLACK FINISH AND COMPLETELY ASSEMBLED WITH BALL JOINTS AND BUSHINGS. TO REDUCE ALL STICKION FROM THE SUSPENSION MOVEMENT, INJECTION MOLDED DELRIN BUSHINGS ARE USED. THESE BUSHINGS ARE ALSO IMPREGNATED WITH TEFLON, WHICH ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR LUBRICATION.
GEOMETRY:GEOMETRY OF A SUSPENSION STARTS WITH THE POSITION OF THE FRAME MOUNTS AND THE HEIGHT OF THE SPINDLE, NOT THE SHAPE OF THE CONTROL ARM. HOWEVER, THERE ARE A FEW SMALL THINGS IN CONTROL ARM DESIGN THAT CAN MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN HOW A VEHICLE DRIVES AND PERFORMS. RIDETECH CREATES EXTRA CASTER POTENTIAL BY ADJUSTING THE FORE-AND-AFT POSITION OF THE BALL JOINTS. AT THE SAME TIME, WE MAKE SURE THE WHEEL IS PROPERLY POSITIONED IN THE WHEEL-WELL SO YOUR NEW LARGE WHEELS FIT LIKE THEY SHOULD! THE BALLJOINT CAMBER TRAVEL IS RE-CENTERED TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEW LOWERED RIDE HEIGHT, SO THE BALL JOINT DOESNT BIND DURING EXTREME SUSPENSION MOVEMENT. THE PERIMETER OF THE STRONGARMS IS CONTOURED TO ALLOW MAXIMUM WHEEL CLEARANCE AND TURNING RADIUS. ALL SHOCK MOUNTS, AIRSPRING MOUNTS, AND SWAYBAR MOUNTS ARE INTEGRATED INTO THE DESIGN, SO YOU DONT HAVE TO FINISH THE ENGINEERING IN ORDER TO ENJOY YOUR RIDE!
STRONGARMS ARE OPTIMIZED TO ALLOW PROPER CAMBER ADJUSTMENT AT YOUR NEW LOWERED RIDE HEIGHT WITHOUT USING A LARGE STACK OF SHIMS.
FRONT MUSCLEBAR SWAY BAR:
LETS FACE IT...THE MOST OVERLOOKED SUSPENSION COMPONENT IS ALSO ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT. THE MAGIC YOU COULD BE MISSING IN YOUR SUSPENSION MAY BE NOTHING MORE THAN SIMPLY ADDING OR UPGRADING YOUR SWAY BARS!
