Ridetech HQ Series Front Coilovers for 2015-2025 Ford Mustang S550/S650
The Ridetech HQ Series Front Coilovers, MPN 12273210, are a monotube coilover pair built as a direct bolt-in replacement for the factory Mustang S550 and S650 front strut assembly. Each shock uses an impact-forged aluminum body with a 1 inch hardened shaft and single rebound adjustment, paired with a Hyperco coil spring and thrust bearing to reduce spring bind and improve steering feel. The coilover reuses the factory upper strut mounts and allows a front ride height drop of up to 2.5 inches while keeping the front end serviceable with replacement seal kits and valving.
Key Features
- Monotube shock design with single rebound adjustment for tunable ride quality
- Impact-forged aluminum shock body with a clear anodized finish
- 1 inch hardened shaft for consistent handling under load
- Included Hyperco coil spring and thrust bearing on each side
- Direct bolt-in fit using factory upper strut mounts on MPN 12273210, no cutting or welding
- Up to 2.5 inch front ride height drop
- Fully serviceable with replacement seal kits and valving
- Made in the USA
Fitment
| Year | Make | Model |
|---|---|---|
| 2015-2025 | Ford | Mustang |
MPN 12273210 fits Mustang S550 GT, EcoBoost, Mach 1, and Dark Horse trims, as well as S650 models, and is compatible with the factory sway bar and most aftermarket control arms. Installation replaces the factory MagneRide strut assembly, so vehicles equipped with MagneRide need the module bypass instructions included with the kit.
