There's nothing wrong with the Afco shocks that DSE has been using. In my opinion, they're a great deal, and a quality all around shock. I've got them on my car, which has complete DSE suspension, and I don't feel the need to change. I'm simply not a good enough driver to warrant going out and replacing something that is already pretty good. The JRI ones are just better. JRI's shocks are supposed to provide much better rebound damping than Afco, which has allowed the DSE test cars to pick up (or would that be lose..?) a bit of time on the track. The Afcos had a bit of a difficult time handling quick transitions, i.e. a really fast, and sharp left-right-left series of turns. I even noticed it a little on a few autocrosses. How much better are the JRI shocks? I'd like to know as well. JRI's are some of the best out there; many of the top competitors are running their shocks. With DSE always looking to up their game, and JRI looking to branch into our segment, I'm really not surprised to see the partnership.
