What a great discussion....


My Mustang has a lot of track days on it -- my guess is with the same shocks it was built with. It's a "service item" I've never even thought about needing to service.

The Lotus has double adjustable Ohlins... the triples are a $5,000 upgrade. Somehow I don't think my track day driving is worth that so the doubles will stay on her.

Ron & Bret,

Thanks for the kind words. I'm happy to be a part of the ProTouring world now.

I completely agree! However they are soooo far behind the offerings from todays venders that it hardly even matters lol.

Can you buy the ridetech shocks in a non adjustable version and then upgrade them to a single or double as time/money/knowledge permits like you can with a JRI? I know the JRI's for my 07 Z06 are $750 a corner for a double adjustable shock. That's pretty reasonable for that quality of shock.

I would hope you would also give a call out to Mike Maier and see what he could do for you being you do have a Mustang and Mike just happens to know a thing or two about Mustangs.

Can the shocks be upgraded over time? Yes they can.
We are working on a webpage that will allow you to send the shocks in for any service you require; rebuild, revalve, reconfigure, etc.

As per your Z06 reference, we have the following (per corner):
OE replacement: $250.00
HQ Coil Over (single adjust): $500.00
TQ Coil Over (triple adjust): $850.00

Chetly - My Mustang is a full out track car not a street car -- and as such already has a bunch of my friend Mike Maier's suspension parts on it.
