I have had great results with the Ridetech shocks. Easy to adjust. No problems at all.

I'm going JRI's on my Z06. Why? Because Mike Maier is a friend of mine, he lives less than a mile from me, we hang out all the time, and if I need to rebuild or revalve them, he's just that close to me. Not to mention, I like the fact that I can get a single adjustable shock, and then at another time, get the parts to make them doubles. I also like that their doubles don't have the remote canister.

I had Brizio upgrade the shocks on the '33 to RideTech... and OH MAN what a better ride I got out of that!! Amazing difference.

I don't know much about this stuff --- but Bret said there is a "perception" out there...

Here's my "perception". JRI's for a full on race car. The internals are lighter and made with racing in mind. RideTechs for a car that is street driven and tracked... as they won't need rebuilding as often and are made for this dual duty.

You need to get both of those shocks on the shock dyno and share the results. I take it they are both for the same vehicle.
