For those who are looking to upgrade there koni's or afco's, Wes at DSE tells me the adjustable remote canister JRI's are 900 bucks a piece Im looking for some adjustment and think Im gonna talk with ridetech about there tripples, Im just curious how the ridetech and JRI's differ/compare to each other.

The JRi shocks are MASSIVELY better than the Ride Tech and AFCO stuff. A shock guru I know recently went through and was able to get the AFCO shocks to work in the DSE stuff for about $1000 for a major project car on here. I didn't get any specifics but the shocks weren't even close to right.
Just as a little back story JRi is a team of people that left Penske to make THE best shock on the market for our application. If anyone is looking for a great car setup and shock tuning guy then I would talk to : http://ankenyracingenterprises.com/home.htm
Marketing of course.
I saw a couple cars At RTTC running other "masively inferior" shocks that ended up doing not to bad.
I am not saying they are not good, better or the best because I have no information to base an opinion on, but the hype is definatly there, the credentials are there no doubt all that should add up to a great product.
I'm with you Matt. You are getting awful good at these analogies. I'd bet the difference between the afco/jri and ridetech/jri is a a different ball game. One of these days I'll get rid of these single adjustable varishocks and I'll let you know.
Right now I would like to get something that is adjustable. Already made the mistake of not getting the upgrade when I purchased the sub from DSE. If you want to purchase them with out a subframe they are 900 a piece, don't want to spend 3600 on all four corners. Im sures ridetech will serve my purpose and driving skill.
So,do You have any real working knowledge of the Ride Tech shock's.What Shock's are you using and how much testing have you done.
Fox knows how to build a quality shock....majority of their shocks are beat to crap on lifted truck/rock crawlers....Ridetech knows this and thats how Ridetechs shocks are proven.
DSE will do well with JRI, otherwise they will stand behind them and fix any issues which i doubt will arise.
