Does anyone have any experience or thoughts about these shocks? I have a chance to get a set and wonder whether they are what I am looking for.

I know that the HQ series are monotube dampers using Fox internals, which is a good thing. I don't know what the RQ are based on, but they seem to be interested in making a quality product. I would call Ridetech and tell them how you use your car and what you're looking for, and ask them for more info and recommendations.

Thanks.

BTW, if you do call them and/or try the shocks, please get back to this topic and let us all know what your find out.

Our shocks are broken down into these designations:
RQ: Ride Quality (fixed valve, non adjustable)
HQ: Handling Quality (rebound adjustable)
TQ: Track Quality (rebound adjustable, high and low speed compression adjustable)

We also have two sizes of shocks:
Smooth Body: Fox 1.5 Series
Threaded Body: Fox 2.0 Series

These units are Fox parts. . .everything is from Fox. I designed the outside Fox designed the insides, we worked together on valving options.
(just a note, I did the outside as we use the same shock in either coil over or air spring [Shockwave] configuration, so I needed a smooth area at the top of the shock to seal the air spring.)

We carry every single part needed to build these shocks in-house in Jasper, IN. Though Fox supplies the "cartridge" in bulk we have the ability to design/build/modify whatever we want.

As such, all Fox based Ridetech shocks are rebuild-able, custom valve-able, and carry a 1,000,001 mile warranty.

I must state that the RQ line has been discontinued. We found the vast majority would spend just a bit extra to have an adjustable unit.

If you'd like dyno graphs or any further information please let me know.
