What the Raceland Classic Kit Is (and Isn’t)
This is an honest suspension kit. No gimmicks, no over-promising.
What you get:
-
Height-adjustable coilover assemblies
-
Matched springs and dampers for street use
-
Direct bolt-on installation
-
Ride height tuning without cutting springs (huge win)
What you’re not getting:
-
Adjustable damping
-
Track-day tuning complexity
-
Spine-shattering spring rates
Translation: it’s designed to make the car better, not turn it into a science project.
Lowering a Fox Body: Do It Carefully
Fox Bodies respond well to lowering—but only within reason.
Recommended ride heights:
-
1.0–1.5 inches: Best balance for daily driving
-
1.5–2.0 inches: Aggressive street stance (alignment becomes critical)
Lower than that and you’ll introduce:
-
Poor roll center geometry
-
Increased bump steer
-
Reduced suspension travel
The Raceland Classic kit allows a controlled drop that keeps the suspension usable instead of just visually dramatic.
Our Mustang coilovers give you the option of lowering your Foxbody 1 to 3 inches below the stock height with the use of our adjustable CNC-machined locking perches and included spanner wrenches. By lowering the ride height of your Mustang, it gives you the ability to perfect your stance and lower the center of gravity of your car. This means that you will see an increase in the handling and performance of your car while still maintaining a comfortable ride quality. These coilovers have been designed and road tested specifically for the ’79-93 Foxbody Mustang to achieve a perfect balance of street comfort and increased performance to enhance stability and grip.
To protect your suspension from the harsh winter months and salty coastal air, our dampers and springs have been powder coated for an extra level of surface corrosion resistance.
As with all Raceland products, these coilovers come with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and an exclusive limited lifetime warranty.
***Please Note: This kit is made to be used with the stock upper strut mounts and may not work with other aftermarket caster/camber kit options. When lowering your car, it is very important to run correct wheel fitment. Depending on your wheel offset, tire size etc, you may need to use wheel spacers and/or roll the fenders of the vehicle***
Ride Quality: Firm but Livable
Compared to worn factory suspension, expect:
-
Firmer ride with noticeably better control
-
Less bouncing over bumps
-
Improved highway stability
-
Reduced body roll during cornering
This is street-tuned firmness, not punishment. You’ll feel the road—but not regret driving the car.
Alignment After Installation (Fox Bodies Need This)
Lowering a Fox Body always changes alignment geometry.
What changes:
-
Increased negative camber
-
Toe shifts out of spec (tire killer #1)
-
Caster affects straight-line stability
Strongly recommended:
-
Professional alignment after install
-
Caster/camber plates for proper correction
-
Toe set close to factory specs for street use
Good suspension with bad alignment is how people blame parts unfairly.
Handling Improvements You’ll Actually Feel
Once installed and aligned, Raceland Classics deliver:
-
Sharper turn-in
-
Reduced nose dive under braking
-
Less body roll
-
More confidence during spirited driving
No, it won’t turn your Fox into a modern track monster—but it will stop feeling vague and floaty.
Build Quality & Ownership Notes
-
Powder-coated components for corrosion resistance
-
Threaded bodies for height adjustment
-
Designed for long-term street use
-
Periodic inspection recommended
Install tip: Use anti-seize on the threads. Adjustable coilovers that seize later are just expensive décor.
