Stock suspension geometry on the Fox-body Mustang was built to appeal to a variety of situations, cruising, performance, and comfort, which can leave room on the table for performance upgrades. BC Racing's DS Series coilovers with DA Type top-mount hardware give the 1979-1989 Mustang a fully adjustable platform that lets you dial in ride height and damping to match how you actually drive the car.
Full ride-height adjustability. The DS Series uses independent spring perch and shock body adjustment, so you can set your ride height without sacrificing suspension travel or preloading the spring. That separation keeps the geometry predictable at every corner of the car.
30-way adjustable damping. BC Racing's single-dial, 30-click compression and rebound adjustment lets you move between a compliant street tune and a stiffer track setup without removing a single component. Turn the dial at the bottom of each shock body to change the character of the car.
DA Type top-mount hardware. The DA Type top-mount pairs with the DS Series shock body to locate the strut precisely in the Fox-body chassis. Proper top-mount geometry reduces NVH transfer and maintains consistent camber curves through suspension travel.
Built for a platform that rewards modification. The Fox-body Mustang has decades of aftermarket support, and coilovers are one of the highest-impact upgrades available. BC Racing's fitment-specific valving accounts for the platform's weight distribution and suspension geometry, so the setup works from the first drive.
