Ridetech HQ S550/S650 Mustang Air Suspension with Sway Bars (ShockWave front + CoolRide rear) are the latest to hit the market for the popular Blue Oval muscle car. While the car still bears the ‘Mustang’ name, Ford has evolved the persona of the traditional pony car over the S550 & S650 generations to assume a more capable grand tourer role. As such the car has adopted an independent rear suspension layout and enjoys more capable sports-car like handling. That said, there is always room left on the table for improvement with factory muscle, and Ridetech’s adjustable air ride suspension allows for an aggressive yet functional stance and improved handling performance without sacrificing ride quality or comfort.
Ridetech’s latest air ride system is sporting a fresh new look, featuring a black and gray anodized finish that pairs nicely the rest of the hardware. Also, 24-position rebound adjustable HQ series Shockwaves with Fox Factory valving and internals allows fine-tuning of suspension responsiveness, whether the car is put to use on the 1320, on the autocross, or road course use.
Additionally, these systems benefit from a new rubber lined spherical bearing integrated into the camber/caster plates, noticeably reducing the NVH that is commonly associated with performance suspensions. Together with the Fox valving and rebound adjustability, Ridetech’s latest design is yet another way that this air suspension system extends the performance capabilities of the S550/S650 Mustang without sacrificing ride quality.
When you’re corner-carving in your Mustang, the last thing you want to encounter is excessive body roll. Our Ridetech S550/S650 Mustang Front and Rear Sway Bars are larger in diameter and adjustable, making them ideal for harnessing a muscle cars desire to roll-over during a cornering event.
Equally important when upgrading suspension components are the sway bars. Coilovers are great but if you’re after a comprehensive approach to improving the performance of your S550 or S650 Mustang, those can be found below.
