What the Raceland Classic Kit Is (and Isn’t)
The Raceland Classic series is about simple height adjustability and reliability.
What you get:
-
Height-adjustable coilover assemblies (front & rear)
-
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: this kit is honest about its mission—and that’s refreshing.
Fits: 2005-2014 Ford Mustang
Spring Rates: 375 lbs/in (F) – 275 lbs/in (R)
Our Ford Mustang coilovers give you the option of lowering your Mustang 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 ’05-14 Mustang to achieve a perfect balance of street comfort and increased performance to enhance stability and grip.
Lowering an S197 Mustang: Sensible Numbers Matter
Raceland Classics typically allow a 1.0–2.0 inch drop, depending on setup.
Recommended ride heights:
-
1.0–1.5 inches: Best balance for daily driving
-
1.5–2.0 inches: Aggressive street stance (alignment becomes critical)
Go too low and you’ll:
-
Reduce suspension travel
-
Increase bump steer
-
Start scraping things you didn’t budget for
Lowering is about geometry, not vibes. Keep usable travel and the car will actually drive well.
Ride Quality: Firm but Livable
Compared to worn factory suspension, Raceland Classics feel:
-
Noticeably firmer
-
More controlled over bumps
-
Less floaty at speed
-
More stable during braking and cornering
This is street-tuned firmness, not punishment. You’ll feel the road, but you won’t regret driving the car every day.
Alignment After Installation (Read This Twice)
Lowering an S197 always changes alignment. Skip this and your tires will evaporate.
What changes:
-
Front camber increases (inside tire wear)
-
Toe shifts out of spec (tire killer #1)
-
Steering feel depends on caster
Strongly recommended:
-
Professional alignment after install
-
Adjustable caster/camber plates if lowering beyond ~1.25”
-
Align the car at its final ride height
Bad alignment ruins good suspension. Every time.
Handling Improvements You’ll Actually Feel
With Raceland Classics installed and aligned, expect:
-
Sharper turn-in
-
Less nose dive under braking
-
Reduced body roll
-
More confidence at highway speeds
No, it won’t turn into a track monster—but it will feel tighter, newer, and far less sloppy than stock.
Build Quality & Ownership Notes
-
Durable powder-coated components
-
Threaded bodies for ride height adjustment
-
Designed for long-term street use
-
Periodic inspection recommended (like any adjustable suspension)
Install tip: Use anti-seize on the threads. Future adjustments shouldn’t require anger.
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: 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***
