Tractive Electronically Controlled Active Adaptive Suspension Kit Escort Mk1 Mk2
The Tractive Electronically Controlled Active Adaptive Suspension Kit for Escort Mk1 and Mk2 is a specialized suspension upgrade designed to enhance the driving dynamics of classic Ford Escort models. This kit typically includes electronically controlled dampers and associated hardware, allowing for real-time adjustment of suspension settings based on driving conditions. The components are engineered to fit the chassis of the Mk1 and Mk2 Escort, maintaining compatibility with the vehicle’s original mounting points. The system is likely constructed from high-quality materials such as anodized aluminum and durable steel, ensuring longevity and resistance to wear. The adaptive nature of the suspension allows for improved handling and ride comfort, as the system can automatically adjust damping rates to suit various road surfaces and driving styles. This makes the kit suitable for both spirited road driving and track use, offering a balance between performance and comfort. The kit is designed for enthusiasts seeking to modernize their classic Escort with advanced suspension technology while preserving the car’s iconic character. Installation typically requires mechanical expertise and may involve integration with electronic control units for optimal functionality.
TracTive ACE Suspension A semi-active, adaptive, electronic suspension
developed exclusively for MST Mk1 & Mk2 Escorts.
The ACE semi-active suspension, initially developed and used extensively on the Porsche 911 models is now available for the classic rear wheel drive Escort Mk1 and Mk2
Supplied in Touring Line specification to utilise OEM top mounts and developed as a Standalone application, utilising the unique TracTive Digital Driver Interface. This gives you independent control of front and rear damping, mid-corner roll and pitch during corner entry, braking and acceleration - all from the comfort of your cockpit, using our Driver Interface touchscreen controller.
Inside each ACE electronic damper is our patented Dynamic Damping Adjustment valve (DDA) controlled by a sensitive multi-axis g-sensor, using advanced algorithms developed for each application and honed from decades of racing and road testing.
An incredibly large damping range is possible electronically, capable of responding within a world beating 6-10ms. Consider for a moment, the average human reacts to visual stimulus within 250ms, you begin to realise what a game-changer TracTive
ACE is compared to existing “passive” suspension systems. ACE has an intuitive ability to react to changing road surfaces and conditions. Bumps and compressions mid-corner will be absorbed before you have time to react, easily holding the desired line through a series of high-speed corners without being deflected offline.
Grip levels and tyre contact in all conditions are vastly improved, giving you the ability to cover ground faster, have more stability under braking, corner entry and maintain higher corner speeds onto straights.
Damper settings are completely customisable from comfortable road compliance to controlled aggression for fast road, track, or tarmac stages. Your preferred driver modes can be saved onto five pre-sets for one-touch convenience.
Touring Line ACE suspensions are adapted to utilise OEM top mounts with matched Eibach springs to ensure an even higher level of road compliance and comfort for road-biased cars.
You can now experience that feeling of ultimate control and performance,
with comfort for daily use without having to compromise.
