Ride Tech shocks

#1 in products and customer service and made in USA.

 

Sweet! Thanks for the link!

 

$400 for a set of shocks...did I read that right...

 

Guess I'll have to pick up a set.... just as soon as I remortgage the house.

 

yeah, that about the same price range as say 4 bilstein hp1000 shocks for many GM cars


truthfully, the maverick only had crap for shock selections..with only 1 monto tube option for front and rear only in twin tube..was either crap cheap shocks or expensive coil overs or ridetech shockwave

 

The Ridetech's are nice looking shocks. I wonder if anyone has put those on their car?

They more expensive than the standard Monroe for $ 35:


...but less expensive than these $850 NOS Autolites for Mustang (that I would not put on my car anyway):

I'm more of a...$9.95-$15.95... a shock person...

 

I went to Advance Auto, "buy 3, get 1 free". Cost me $55 for 4 shocks. LOL
I guess it depends what you use your car for, but dayum, I could find better things to spend $400 dollars on.

 

I like em' too. Not necessarily the price.. but any additional parts availability is better than what we've had in the past.

Personally.. because of the crappy premium aftermarket shock support for these cars.. I was just going to mod some uber expensive Mustang shocks into place on mine anyways. But when it's all said and done.. and after hundreds of hours of chopsaw/welder engineering.. $400 bucks may not seem so bad.

 

I'm in for the rears when the time comes. Thanks for the info and link.

 

You would be amazed at what a difference a good set of shocks make. Im running their triple adjustable coil overs. They are great and the staff was really easy to work with. I wish I had more time to tune on them before blowing the motor.

 

specifically ridetech..seems like they may be leaps and bounds better then the hp1000s I have on my 72 skylark definetly will be better then edebrocks ias shocks
i'll find out at some point

 

if you ask me that don't look like a rear maverick shock to me.

 

Ridetech is has some great people on the other end of the phone and a really first class product. I helped a friend install the Shock Wave setup on his Camaro........it had a very healthy 347 Ford/6spd. If I had a street car I'd certainly try a set, I just replaced my OE shocks on my Dodge Ram1500
with Bilstein 4600's ($300 for all four) and you can't believe the difference..........especially towning the Maverick..............most OE shocks are cheap and junk. My truck only had 52000 miles and the OE shocks started to leak.
"You only get what you pay for"..................IMHO
