I think it's because the shocks we sell are not competition shocks - they are meant for high-performance street cars. There is no way we could sell a shock with a 30-hour service interval. :thumbsup:

Hey guys thanks for all the feedback. To give a bit more clarity: I'm wanting remote reservoir, double adjustable shocks for easier adjustability between runs and more flexible packaging options for my custom suspension. I plan to track my car, autocross, and have fun while street driving. I want a shock that will perform well, is adjustable and rebuildable. I haven't heard of many guys using Ohlins on their cars and only a few actually using Penske shocks. People seem to like them, even though they are pricey. The point about yearly rebuilds is a good thing to consider in the total cost.

Interesting that Ridetech was brought up as an option, since they only come in single adjustable versions w/o remote reservoirs. James mentioned a triple adjustable version, maybe they are not yet commercially available. They seem like a good product for a non-rebuildable shock, but that is different than what I am looking for.

The RideTech TA3 (triple adjustable with remote reservoir) debuted at SEMA in November. I don't think that they have cycled in to the catalog yet. V8TV did a blurb on them at the show.

Our Triple Adjustable coil overs are a monotube, remote reservoir shock that is custom valve-able and rebuild-able.
They are basically the "little brother" of the Fox shock found on the Ford Raptor pick up trucks. As those shocks have been tested to over 100K mile life expectancy we are very comfortable rating ours at 50K miles between service intervals (for a normal street driven vehicle that sees the occasional autocross).


Here's the V8TV vid as well as one from Bangshift: (Note: the production units have triple swivel fittings on the hose. A costly upgrade, but if you have every installed remote reservoirs you'll know it's well worth the expense!):

Dang, I totally missed that little nugget about Ridetech releasing a triple adjustable coil-over at SEMA. I stand corrected....the RideTech triple adjustable shocks look like a great product! :thumbsup:

Got any details on the prices and when they will be available?

we are currently working on pricing, I'll update this thread as soon as we make a decision.

We are 60-90 days out before we can start shipping triple adjustable units.

If you want to get more info please check here (the triple adjustable has the same dimensions as our non-adjust and single adjustable units, it just has a remote reservoir):
