Coming from a racing background and Penske, I have to wonder about reliability on the street. Shocks are clearly a BIG deal if regards to performance. I doubt DSE would use them unless they are reliable in a street application. They want to be at the front of the pack to sell more parts. Those DSE cars have changed a lot of the past 3 years. Kyle is one hell of a better driver and the cars are more Rowdy to achieve these goals. Just one more step in the progression towards a full blown race series.  |
Yeah, that would be $1000 added to your subframe order.
And for those saying the JRIs are massively better than Afco or Ridetech's offerings, that is probably true. I am going to have to pull out a food analogy on this though
I would liken the Afco and Ridetech shocks to a good ol' chunk of well marbled choice cut New York steak. The JRI's would be prime. If you asked most of us to cook those two steaks ourselves, they would probably end up tasting pretty similar. My point is that I think you're going to need someone pretty skilled to make the JRIs really shine.
For the cost of upgrading all four corners, I think I would rather just go to driving school for a week. If it was an option at the time of purchase, I'd be willing to shell out the money.
