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?

DSE would not have switched to JRI if they did not believe that would improve their subframes in either performance, quality, or both.

I wouldn't be concerned about the AFCO(aka DSE) being low quality and blowing out. This isnt an issue with the AFCO's being bad, but the JRi's being better.

I have AFCO shocks on a few cars. I have had really good results.

Sorry my comments were more along the lines of them switching from the tried and tested afcos to the new jri's which may or may not be as durable.

I tend to agree that they wouldn't use a shock that isn't proven, reliable, and a better performer. Time will tell.
