Game Changer
CorteX short-long arm (SLA) suspension systems (also known as a double-wishbone suspension) are a no-compromise solution to anyone that wants the ultimate handling solution for their vehicle. There really is no substitute for a properly designed SLA suspension. Compared to a front struts suspension an SLA has superior camber gain, roll center stability, and in most cases additional tire clearance.
Nearly every supercar uses this suspension type.
Here are some key benefits to a properly designed SLA suspension:
Features
- Lower lap time by 2-4 seconds depending on the length and features of the track on a back-to-back test with the same tires!
- More tire rubber on the ground in any given situation.
- Reduced entry and mid-corner understeer without loss of rear-end grip!
- Reduced static camber requirement
- Roll center much more stable both vertically and laterally making handling more consistent and predictable
- Much less sensitive to changes in ride height. For example, lowering the chassis one inch only causes the roll center to drop one inch.
- High-quality dampers are significantly less expensive – e.g. double eyelet coilover shocks are nearly half the cost of equivalent struts which nearly pay for the conversion to SLA.
Advantages Over Competitor Products
Inherently stronger design since components are in tension and compression instead of bending
Quicker and easier to install
Less expensive and better value
Utilized more advanced and heavy-duty OEM steering rack including the electronic power assist steering (EPAS)
Stiffer, more reliable, and more adjustable spindle/hub assembly with integrated wheels speed sensors
Damper and spring loads are fed into shock towers at the OEM load-bearing point eliminating the excessive deflection found in competitors' systems
Stronger and stiffer k-member, shock mounts, and control arms
More advanced damper selection
Wide range of brake system options available
Easily adjustable roll center
Designed for use with OEM steering rack, hydraulic or EPAS not a Mustang II or FOX or SN95!
