Hi Guys,
As many of you may have seen already, Ridetech has come out with a really nice quality shock and coil over set up for the C5 and C6 platform. We have been testing these for a while now and are very happy with the results thus far.

These are made from a correlation of a few high quality companies that are all made right here in the USA. Fox is making the shock itself, the springs are hyper coils, and Ridetech is packaging them very nicely for an easy drop in fit for your Corvette.

Here is some technical data on the shocks direct from Ridetech;

C5-C6 Coilovers and Q Series Shocks
Features:
• Impact Forged Monotube Fox Shocks
• Bolt In
• Oversized rod guides for maximum strength and durability
• Stainless mounting brackets
• CoilOvers Include Hyperco Springs (made with high tensile steel)
• CoilOvers have Delrin spring washers for easy spring retainer adjustment.
• CoilOvers available in HQ Series (single adjustable) and TQ Series (triple adjustable)
• Shocks available in HQ Series (single adjustable)
• Mono-tube design allows large piston for superior oil control – increases ride quality and handling performance
• 5/8” hardened shaft on the CoilOver and 1/2" hardened shaft on the Smooth Body Shocks are precision ground and straightened to a tolerance of .001" inch for increased durability and performance
• Billet end cap with integrated debris wiper to prevent seal damage
• Teflon piston wiper allows consistent piston/bore contact and repeatable performance
• Oversized rod guide improves piston rod stability
• Integral internal bumpstop eliminates extension crashing
• Mono-tube bore is cathode anodized for years of wear resistance
• Hard coat external anodizing ensures years of lasting beauty and performance
• Specially contoured composite gas separator cup optimizes dead length and ensures proper nitrogen/oil separation

Some pics of an install we recently finished on a 1000rwhp Loma wide body C6Z using the TQ triple adjustable coil overs.

We have had a few of the Ride Tech cars on track now, they are performing very well. Here's some street shots of the car above.

After a couple years now (guesstimate) of selling these, we are happy to report that even though they come with a 1,000,000 mile warranty, we have never had to replace a single one!

Great product.

Hey, can we talk about the changes in the ride. How much stiffer will this feel than stock.
I wish to have 18/19 wheels and lower maybe 2" -2 1/2". Can you recommend which version I should be considering.
Thanks
Robby

DOUG @ ECS

For most street/track cars we recommend the HQ series single adjustable coil over set, $2000 shipped within cont US.

You will have the ride height your looking for with a stiffer ride then before, but that depends on how you adjust them. On the softest setting they are not much stiffer then stock, on the firmest setting it would not make for a fun ride on the street.

If you have any other questions or I didn't answer that well enough just let me know.

Over two years of using these shocks and coil overs and not once have we had to use the "million mile warranty", great product and great company to deal with.

looking for on Track review if anyone can help me out.

DOUG @ ECS

The one million mile warranty doesn't mean much when we have never had to warranty a coil over yet!!!

Can't exactly say that with other brands we sold in the past.
