Do You Need Adjustable Racing Shocks?
The advancement of automotive technology has always been hyperlinked to racing. Nearly every aspect of modern vehicle function can attribute its DNA to racing development. This is certainly true for Ridetech’s adjustable shocks.
However, for some of you, using “racing shocks” on your project car or truck may not seem to make sense. After all, you want your ride smooth, quiet, and comfortable, and those certainly are NOT the first things that come to mind when thinking about race cars.
Spoiler Alert:
You DO want racing shock technology
On the other hand, if you are the person that wants to take your car on track (autocross, road racing, or drag racing), then perhaps you think that you can’t expect to get the performance you need from a shock that also promises a smooth ride and comfortable control around town on public roads.
This is where a proper understanding of a shock absorber’s purpose is important. At Ridetech, we like to say the shock absorber functions as the “brains of the suspension”. To start off with, a brain is only as good as the body it is built-in.
Ridetech adjustable shocks can make a good car great, they simply can’t make a bad car good.
Proper suspension design, geometry, and most importantly, correct spring rates along with a reasonable amount of travel built into a suspension are absolutely critical to making a road car or race car work properly.
This is why Ridetech focuses on building complete systems to provide a total solution for your vehicle. The shock is the final, yet critical, component to making this system work to provide the performance you seek.
To do its job well, a great shock has to work at exceptional levels of precision, be resistant to fatigue, and be durable over millions of cycles. These criteria are exactly the same for either road applications or the most demanding racing environments.
Ridetech adjustable shocks are built with Fox Factory racing components. We include them in all our suspension systems for trucks, cars and hot rods – street or race track.
Ridetech partnered with Fox Shocks back in 2010 to provide the “brains” of its suspension systems. Fox employs translates lessons learned on the race track into advanced technology and precision manufacturing capabilities. We have taken advantage of the decades of Fox racing development to provide the best Ridetech adjustable racing shocks to our customers – racers and hot rodders alike.
