Ride tech HQ adjustable Shocks Feedback?
Hey Guys ,
Was looking into the Ride tech HQ adjustable Shocks (not Coil overs )
I have had Johnny Os , know running re-valved Bills and just not feeling much of a difference @ The track ? Wanted some feedback on these is anyone is running them? Ease of adjustment and feel on street and track ?
I would be leaving them soft then @ track firm them up ! Also any settings that guys are running to get good understeer / oversteer balance ?
Thanks in advance

MangoMan, did you ever get the Ridetech shocks for your Corvette or receive feed back in some other way. I'm shopping for an upgrade from the C6 ZO6 shocks I have on my 2001 Z51 Corvette. RideTech's are at the top of my list right now but with the cost being almost twice the Bilstein's etc I want to know what I'm getting. My Corvette is mostly street driven with auto-X weekends sprinkled in during the summer.
Thanks

Mangoman, our shocks have a wide range of adjustment that are very well suited for what you are wanting to do. You will be able to adjust them on the softer side for your normal street driving, adjust to the stiffer side for autocrossing. We have a C5 Test car here at the shop that has spent a lot of time on the autocross and road course doing shock testing and evaluation to provide a very well rounded shock for street and track. We have many customers buy them just to obtain a better ride and they are all very pleased with the end results. Most of our customers buy them to do exactly what you are looking to use them for, and are very pleased. The biggest thing is not being afraid to use the adjustment ***** to achieve the results you are after, you can't hurt them. I recommend keep some notes of your settings with notes of how each setting felt to you. The notes will help you dial them in to your needs, plus help you know what setting to put them back to for street driving or when returning to the autocross. Another added benefit, all of our shocks come with 1,000,001 mile warranty. It sounds like you have been looking at our shocks already, but I have attached a link to our Smooth Bodiy Shocks.

Do you have any other suspension modifications on your Corvette?
