The 79-93 Foxbody SLA Conversion NA Struts by Detroit Speed Engineering represent a purpose-built suspension upgrade for Ford enthusiasts modernizing first-generation Mustang chassis dynamics. These struts enable a Short-Long-Arm (SLA) conversion on naturally aspirated Foxbody platforms, replacing the factory MacPherson strut geometry with a more responsive, geometry-optimized setup. This conversion is essential for builders serious about handling improvement, reducing body roll, and laying a foundation for track-focused or street performance builds where factory suspension limitations become immediately apparent.
Detroit Speed Engineering's SLA conversion struts are engineered to work within the OEM Foxbody mounting points while delivering independent double-wishbone geometry that dramatically improves anti-squat and anti-dive characteristics. The strut assembly integrates precision-welded construction and calibrated spring rates optimized for the weight and balance of carbureted and fuel-injected NA engines, ensuring predictable body control during acceleration, braking, and cornering inputs. The 169.5-pound assembly reflects quality steel construction and integrated mounting hardware, designed to bolt directly into existing frame locations without major fabrication beyond basic suspension disassembly.
This conversion kit suits 1979–1993 Foxbody Mustang owners targeting comprehensive suspension modernization, whether for weekend autocross, road course track days, or aggressive street driving where stock MacPherson geometry creates excessive compliance and unpredictable load transfer. Installation requires removal of the factory strut towers and installation of the SLA control arm brackets, making it practical for owners with welding capability or access to a suspension shop experienced in Foxbody geometry. Compatibility is confirmed for naturally aspirated 5.0L, 2.3L, and 4.6L engine configurations; forced-induction builds may require custom valving consultation to match increased cornering loads.
