Shock absorbers are among the most important components in a vehicle's suspension system. No other suspension parts affect road holding, stability, and handling to the same extent. Their primary function is to control spring movement so that the tires maintain optimal contact with the road surface at all times, resulting in improved grip, shorter braking distances, enhanced ride comfort, and increased driving safety.
To ensure maximum performance, Ridetech shock absorbers are engineered with an advanced monotube design. This high-performance configuration accommodates a larger piston and more precise valve control, delivering faster response and more consistent damping characteristics. Compared with conventional twin-tube dampers, monotube shocks provide superior damping capacity, more efficient heat dissipation, more stable performance under demanding use, and greater long-term reliability for both street and track applications.
HQ Series shocks are rebound-adjustable aluminum shock absorbers designed for high performance on both road and track. They feature hard-anodized bodies for increased wear resistance and corrosion protection, together with robust piston rods engineered to withstand high loads and demanding driving conditions. These characteristics result in a shock absorber with an exceptionally long service life, consistent damping performance, and predictable handling behavior. They are supported by one of the industry's most comprehensive warranties at 1,000,001 miles, clearly emphasizing the high level of quality and durability.
This rear shock absorber is compatible with, among others:
