To rich for my blood. The ridetech shocks have been getting great reviews and they are affordable.

How much are the Ridetech triple adjustable shocks? Fox is pretty local to me, and I know they're willing to stand behind the product or help if anything needed to be addressed, and I trust with their background, they're probably engineered to last. Given that I'm never the fastest person out there, and I'm not going to win anything, durability is my main concern.

Also, does anyone know how often the JRI shocks need maintenance? I have to image in base ones are built to last a while...

I'm assuming they are $1300 for a PAIR of Triple Adjustables. If not, put a shoe in my mouth.

You know I'm with you on reliability.

Pretty sure Ridetech T/A retails for $1300 a pair.

If the JRI's are anything like the Penskes, racers are re-valving every year or so. James would know...

I didn't have to revalve every year with the Penskes... once I went 14 months without sending a shock back.

That being said, the Penskes were a true competition shock being used on the street and while Jri does make true competition shocks as well, I am fairly sure that there are some differences between what's on Clint's car and what DSE and Ironworks and Meier are offering for our cars.

So I'm considering the dse subrame and quadralink but it seems there are now questions about the durability of the shocks. I don't want any strung out noisy shocks for the street (been there done that) that blow their seals and leak from daily driving. Maybe someone from jri or dse could comment?

Maaaan, I'm glad I'm just a street guy that likes to cruise around. I'll leave all this talk about big, high dollar triple adjustable JRI shocks to you track guys.
