Welcome to Matt's Classic Bowties

What says “performance” more than a set of tubular control arms! After all of the time and effort expended on your ride, you definitely can’t let your stamped oem control arms detract from all that work. Finish your suspension off with these new tubular control arm systems from Ridetech. Built with all of the care and experience you have come to expect from RideTech, these tubular control arms are a precision engineered solution for ShockWave® installation, ball joint binding, and frame clearance issues that can haunt some vehicles. When you combine the performance benefits with the elegant design of these arms, there is no question.... You want these.

Development - StrongArms™ are developed by Ridetech® in Jasper, Indiana on an actual running, driving vehicle. This allows them to properly address ALL fitment and performance issues. It also allows us to document an installation, demonstrate the installation to the sales techs and dealers, and allows ongoing evaluation of the performance of the StrongArms™

Design - RideTech thinks the best way to design any component is to keep it simple. That is why Strong Arms™ are designed with as few components as possible. They have a new 4 axis tubing bender that allows precise, repeatable bends that no other machine can achieve. They can create elegant tubing bends that would otherwise require several separate welded components.

Components - RideTech has worked closely with Moog, a major manufacturer of OEM ball joints, to ensure that the proper ball joints have been selected for the Application... a compression style unit in a compression application, a tension bal joint in a tension application. Proper poly or rubber bushings are selected based on application and the type of driving or racing that is anticipated.

Geometry - Geometry of a suspension starts with the position of the frame mounts and the height of the spindle, not the shape of the control arm. However, there are a few small things in control arm design that can make a big difference in how a vehicle drives and performs.

• RideTech creates extra caster potential by adjusting the fore and aft position of the ball joints. At the same time they make sure the wheel is properly positioned in the wheel-well so your new 18" wheels fit like they should!
• The balljoint camber travel is re-centered to accommodate the new lowered ride height so the ball joint doesn’t bind during extreme suspension movement.
• The perimeter of the StrongArms is contoured to allow maximum wheel clearance and turning radius.
• All shock mounts, airspring mounts, and swaybar mounts are integrated into the design so you don’t have to finish the engineering in order to enjoy your ride!

StrongArms™ are optimized to allow proper camber adjustment at your new lowered ride height without using a large stack of shims.

All STRONGARMS include ball joints, and bushings. They are bolt-on: ready to install!

Lets face it... the most overlooked suspension component is also one of the most important. The magic you could be missing in your suspension may be nothing more than simply adding or upgrading your sway bar(s)!

The New MUSCLEbar™ sway bars were developed specifically for lowered vehicles and will greatly enhance the cornering performance of your car or truck. (Not to mention they'll also make some vehicles safer at the speeds we travel on today's interstate highways.)

Increased bar diameters, polyurethane bushings, and appropriate attachment links all add up to a sway bar package that is designed to work correctly with your lowered car or truck and your aggressive driving style.

This kit also includes Posi-Link end links.

• Improves range of motion & eliminates binding
  
• Strong design prevents deformation and failure
  
• Positive transfer of motion through swaybar
  
• OEM high performance quality

Yet another trick piece of hardware to complete your high end suspension. These Billet Tie Rod Adjusters fill a need that is often overlooked. RideTech designed them to be strong, easy to adjust and look cool too. Large wrench flats on both ends provide an easy way to dial your suspension system's steering to the perfect toe & bumpsteer settings and the anodized aluminum finish provides long lasting good looks.

RideTech's patented solution for a simplified air suspension system - just keeps getting better. The ShockWave® mounts just like a coilover and replaces the coil-spring with an adjustable air spring for a huge range of tuning options. It provides a simple, hightech way to provide the ultimate in adjustable suspension design. With more configuration options than ever before, the ShockWave is the premier foundation for a RideTech air suspension system.

The Non Adjustable ("NA") series is a great entry level solution. It still retains all the mounting and installation advantages of the other shock series. With fixed shock valving, the NA series is designed to optimize ride quality, leaving out the guess work.

The quality of the monotube aluminum body shock will last for years of reliable service, and is an excellent choice for the price conscious buyer.

The RideTech Select series is a steel body monotube damper with TWO sets of independent internal valving so you can choose between "cruise-mode" with a soft compliant ride or a firmer "sport mode" for handling performance... all at the touch of a switch!

The heart of the RideTech Select is two independent sets of electronically controlled valving inside the monotube damper.

In default mode [no power applied], the lower valving stack is engaged and provides a very compliant ride to optimize a plush ride quality. When power is applied through a dash mounted control panel (optional), the upper valve stack is engaged to firm up the ride quality and provide extra cornering and handling performance, or to optimize ride quality when towing or carrying a heavy load such as passengers , luggage or a trailer.

This selectable valve technology has been refined and proven on many OEM vehicles over the past 9 years. RideTech now offers the ultimate solution to the ride quality and handling issues of the hotrod and trailering market…the RideTech SELECT!

Key Features:
• Electronically selectable soft or firm shock valving at the touch of a switch (optional)
• Proven, reliable OEM electronic damping technology now available to the hotrod market
• Steel monotube construction allows superior oil control over a wide range of road and track surfaces
• Perfect for vehicles that see radically changing loads such as passengers, luggage, or trailer towing
• Durability proven to over 100,000 miles
• Instant response to valving changes [under 1 second]

Triple Adjustable – The newest addition to the RideTech line is the TRIPLE adjustable shock. Going beyond the typical double adjustable units that have been popular, the TA shock has a single rebound adjustment and a DUAL stage [high speed and low speed] compression adjustment. It uses a remote reservoir that is connected with a 30" braided line for easy installation in a variety of installation applications. The high speed adjustment allows tuning for impact harshness...potholes, speedbumps, offroad use and other harsh road irregularities that might induce a high speed excursion of the piston rod. The low speed adjustment allows tuning of ride quality, as well as the general cornering characteristics of typical road course and racetrack use.

Typical Applications: The RideTech TA is currently the ultimate choice for autocrossing, track days, drag racing, and other extreme environment use.

• Monotube gas pressure design offers superior fade free performance
• Impact forged aluminum body provides superior strength and reliable service
• Larger 1.834" piston provides outstanding ride quality
• Double sealed rod guide with dust cover eliminates oil leakage
• 5/8" chrome shock shaft
