Inside Detroit Speed: Making Muscle Car Suspension Parts & World Class Custom Builds!
What happens here
Inside the manufacturing area, various components are prepared for assembly and shipment. This includes caster/camber plates for 3rd Gen Camaros, featuring a patented 'speed align' design with throwing star adjusters that allow for 1/16-inch increments of adjustment, ensuring precise alignment without slippage. Mustang aluminum frames (Aluma-Frame) are shown, along with control arms ready for powder coating. The Mustang cradle, a cast aluminum part, replaces the factory front frame to improve geometry, providing better handling characteristics. The philosophy is to bring OEM-quality forgings and castings to the aftermarket, rather than using fabricated, weaker solutions.
Goal: Showcase various components ready for final processing and highlight manufacturing innovations.
