Default Ride Tech or JRI ?

I'm ready to pull the trigger on shocks for my Camaro. I have narrowed it down to Ride Tech or JRI . I am looking at the TQ series from Ride Tech and the equvialent from JRI. Want to know what your guys thoughts are. I did have a set of Penske remote canister shocks but some how they grew legs and left my shop! Both of these guys are supporting vendors so I want to stay with who supports the board. I kills me to have to buy these over again !!! Those Penskes weren't cheap!

Both are excellent brands, quality products, good people, solid companies. But their shocks have different strengths. What are your priorities from a set of shocks?


In other words what traits are important & not, must haves & don't wants?

One comes from a street back ground, the other a race back ground.

As noted -- both great companies -- but this is what I would consider in making the best choice for you.

Hi Mario,

Both are easy to adjust & have a wide range of adjustability that you can feel.

How are you using the car and in what activities do you want most from the shocks?

What ever you do go through Ron. I cannot even explain what a huge difference his custom valving did for my car.
