Default Clearing the air on JRi Shocks

We’ve recently heard rumors that JRi Shocks where being built by Fox Shocks. This is untrue. JRi prides themselves on building their own shocks to a very high level of quality and performance right here in the USA.

Built on the backbone of racing, from NASCAR to Baja Off-Road racing, JRi shocks are built to perform. Located in Mooresville, North Carolina, they have the engineers, technicians, and know how to build some of the baddest shocks for your Corvette.

A few points of interest direct from JRi:
  • Nitrogen charged for added consistency providing better performance and longevity
  • All shocks are threaded for easy upgrade from leaf spring to coilover.
  • Allow for dynamic low speed and high speed control optimizing handling and providing enhanced response time
  • Upgrade performance in a multitude of applications- daily driving, street use, autocross and competitive on-track use
  • Shocks were developed in-house utilizing real-world testing by our good friend and racer Danny Popp of Raft Motorsports, Seven-Time SCCA Solo II National Champion`
  • Specific valving is available for street, road course and drag racing applications

I think people must have gotten confused between JRI shocks and Ridetech's shocks. It is my understanding that Ridetech's shocks are built by Fox Shock.

Also, I believe Jeff Ryan was the Chief designer of the Penske shocks prior to starting JRI.
