I'll be interested to hear the feedback as this is basically what I'm running out back.

The car is complete and driving.Rained all day so the roads were wet.But Kevin said right off the bat the car has a smoother and softer ride quality.We will need to get w/Bret V. and talk about starting point's for shock setting's.Kevin is going to drive the camaro to the Planes,trains,Auto's this weekend so he will get some more drive time.Thenhe can give more feed back on the street manner's,but will have to wait untill Desmoines goodguys, for all out performance.

thanks everyone for following along with the install of the ridetech products on my camaro. So far im really happy with the way everything came out...the four bar kit fit really well and the shocks are top notch...very cool pieces. like scott mentioned the first thing i noticed was how much better the ride quality was on the road. I haven't got the chance to thrash on it too hard yet but so far it seems to handle really well and im anxious to get it on the autocross and pound on it. thanks again to bret voelkel and the crew at ridetech and also wanna thank scott for helping me with the install and Tom for helping with posting pics. will post more updates as i drive the car more and play with shock settings.

thanks

I don't think I've ever seen my name used so much in a thread!

Don't thank me...you did the work. And you will be reporting back to all these guys on the results...good, bad, or indifferent. The good stuff is all assumed...we want [and need] to hear about the stuff that needs improvement...whatever that might be.
As I replied in my email a couple of days ago...shock tuning is VERY subjective. And it is also just one area of suspension tuning. Tire pressure, sway bars, driving style, track conditions ALL play a very important part of getting a car to go fast on a given day.
I am trying to work out to be in Des Moines myself...we can make some real progress there, although the limited amount of runs will allow only so much time to tune.

We are obviously very proud of the whole suspension, but especially the shocks. I wish I could take sole credit for developing these pieces, but in reality it was our military relationship with the guys at Fox Shocks that gave birth to these pieces. RideTech determined the dimensions, valving, and appearance parameters, but the internal architechure is Fox. They truly must be seen and felt to be appreciated. We have seven customers running at the Motorstate event this weekend...hopefully seven more RideTech shock desciples!

Glad you like it so far...now we'll make it fast!

How much travel does the rear coilovers have, and what is the thickness of the bump stop?

Thanks,
Jon
