Mustang SLA

[jw33]

don't know the name brands here, but seems like a smoking deal...

I have a short / long arm suspension with adapters to fit a Fox body Mustang. The kit sold new for $2800 and is brand new, never installed. It converts the front suspension from strut type to adjustable coil overs. The parts I have are;
-L&R full upper control arm assemblies(all bushings etc..)
-L&R full lower control arm assemblies(all bal joints bushings etc..)
-L&R coil overs(height adjustable)
-L&R spindle assemblies
-L&R tie rods (full set)
all mounting hardware and adapters are included, this is a serious kit cheap!

Wow, great deal!

[Slowhand]

Any chance that would fit on a New Edge?

edit: website lists all of the SLA kits as '79-'04....Yale, come talk me into this!

thats really cheap. maybe to good to be true.

I'm curious what kind of dampers those are and what hubs/k-member you need to run.

first who makes the kit? very vague description

[aggie97]

you could build what's in the kit at smiley's for about $750 as a guess....no k-member and modify the stock spindle. Pretty easy actually.

Personally, I have YET to be sold on an SLA setup being the end all for fox chassis cars. I have been told that SLA is good for 2 seconds over my MM setup....and have yet to see the car to prove it.

Only positive about the SLA I have seen to date is it's cheaper to get good shocks like a penske or moton...but SLA's are a PITA to adjust quickly while at the track.

I would also stay away from the Griggs stuff...nice but way to light and break a lot. The Agent47 setup has proven to be better in reliability, but I am still not convinced I MUST have it.

i emailed him! this was his he response


The dampers are AFCO and the system is a Barts Works. The hubs come with it, standard cobra or mustang brakes fit. The kit fits on a standard K-member

It's one of the original SLA kits...google it and you should find a lot of info on it. Don't expect to find parts because they went out of business 6 or 7 years ago.

I'd say you need to see if a case of beer will convince a certain driving instructor to make a trip to Smiley's with you.

Honestly wouldn't do it on a street car...crappy roads will destroy most lightweight setups.

Cool man. Thanks!

also, if someone IS interested in this kit..be sure you use a k-member with stock geometry. The MM k-member screws up the geometry as it changes the wheel base and raises the inner pivot of the lower control arms.

So if I already have MM tubular front suspension, but not their k-member, will it mess me up to install one of those?
