Ridetech Part# 11530203
Similar to the “standard” Ridetech Front and Rear Coil-Over System, this is one is upgraded for use with front and rear C7 Corvette hubs, extreme duty rear outer axles and C5/C6 brakes. These upgrades provide maximum strength, consistent braking and reduced maintenance. Includes offset trailing arms, outer axles, shock crossmember (for stock differential), camber rods w/ R-Joints, front upper and lower control arms, steering arms and 2 pair of HQ Series Coil-Overs. Hubs and brakes not included.
Features:
- Upper StrongArms feature corrected ball joint angles for the tall spindles. The upper ball joints have been moved back to allow for additional caster setting to improve high speed stability and steering feel. Offset slugs are also available for additional caster. Injection molded Delrin bushings with 13% Teflon are used to reduce deflection and stiction.
- Lower StrongArms feature a double sheer lower mount for increased strength. We have also dropped the lower shock mount to increase suspension travel and moved the lower ball joint forward to increase caster settings while keeping the wheel centered in the wheel opening. Injection molded Delrin bushings with 13% Teflon are used to reduce deflection and stiction.
- TruTurn System includes tall spindles which induce more negative camber gain to maximize tire contact patch during cornering. It also includes steering arms, center link adapter, tie rods and adjusters to virtually eliminate bumpsteer, correct Ackerman angle and allow for wider tires. Uses C5/C6/C7 Corvette hubs for maximum strength, consistent braking and reduced maintenance. (Hubs not included). Compatible with C5/C6 Corvette brake systems, OE and aftermarket (caliper brackets included). Compatible with stock manual steering or Borgeson power steering box. Will not fit stock power assist or rack and pinion conversions.
- HQ Series Coil-Overs utilize an impact forged aluminum body and Monotube design to deliver excellent ride quality and handling. They allow fine tuning of the ride quality and handling the rebound knob is located at the top of the shock for under hood access. They come standard with a 1,000,0001 Mile Warranty. Adjustable ride height, lowers stance approximately 1-3″.
- Front MucleBar Sway Bar helps reduce body roll and creates room for wider front tires. It includes the PosiLink end links that provide immediate engagement between the chassis and control arms. Adjustable rate from 653 lbs/in to 805 lbs/in.
- Rear StrongArms are offset for increased tire clearance and are fabricated into a truss design for maximum strength and minimum weight. Also incorporated is the adjustable coil-over mount, conveniently locating them behind the axle for easy adjustments. The upper coil-over crossmember simply bolts in place of the stock cross member. The strut rods are outfitting with R-Joint rod ends to combine the best qualities of low friction movement, lateral stability, full range articulation, and quiet operation. Uses C5/C6/C7 Corvette hubs for maximum strength, consistent braking and reduced maintenance. (Hubs not included). Compatible with C5/C6 Corvette brake systems, OE and aftermarket. Includes extreme duty 33/35 Spline outer stub made of Hy-Tuf alloy steel (manufactured by Strange).
Hub and Brake Compatibility:
Hubs – 1997-2013 Corvette (C5/C6) or 2014-2019 Corvette (C7). C7 hubs are preferred (such as Moog 513378, 512558), they are stronger and more cost effective (no wheel speed sensor).
Brakes – Any 1997-2013 Corvette (C5/C6) will fit (OE replacement or aftermarket). Minimum 17″ wheels.
Parking Brake – Not compatible with stock parking brake. If a parking brake is desired, a special Wilwood brake kit along with the C7 parking brake assembly is required.
