JRI shocks

[67ragtp]

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.

My thinking too right now. We drive 9/10ths at this point. One day 10/10ths maybe but not yet. I'm upgrading my AME sub w AFCOs to match my rears from DSE. It'll do for now. Also I believe these shocks need a little more care and feeding....

That price of $999 is the upgrade price over the base coil overs. If you are looking to buy them outright I believe the price is $1499. I bought my QuadraLink this winter without coil overs to break up the cost a bit. Now I'm all sorts of confused about what direction to go. It looks like pricing is $500 for the base shock, $950 for single adjustable, $1499 for double adjustable, and $1800 for the canisters. All those prices are per pair. This is what I gathered from speaking to Dan @ DSE over the phone today.

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.

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.

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.
