Shock absorbers are basically the heart of a car's suspension – they're what make driving feel safe, controlled and confidence-inspiring. Nothing else affects how a car behaves on the road, how stable it feels or how it handles quite as much as the shocks. Their main job is to control the movement of the springs and keep the tires planted on the road at all times, so there's plenty of grip, comfort and driving fun.
To make all of this work as well as possible, Ridetech shock absorbers use an efficient monotube design with a larger piston and more precise valve control, taking suspension performance and vehicle control up a notch. The same advanced design is used in the RQ-S shocks, giving stronger damping, quicker response and better reliability than traditional twin-tube shocks.
Ridetech RQ-S shock absorbers come with a 1.5″ steel body, 24-position adjustable rebound and heavy-duty 1/2″ shock shafts, all backed by an industry-leading 1,000,001-mile warranty – built to deliver long-lasting driving enjoyment, sharper handling and a consistently smooth ride for many miles ahead.
