Ridetech 1963-72 Chevy C10 TQ Series Coilovers

This newest addition to the RideTech shock line goes beyond the typical double adjustable units that have been popular, the Track Quality ("TQ") shock has a single rebound adjustment and a DUAL stage [high speed and low speed] compression adjustment.

It uses a remote reservoir that is connected with a 30″ braided line for easy installation in a variety of installation applications. The high speed adjustment allows tuning for impact harshness… potholes, speedbumps, offroad use and other harsh road irregularities that might induce a high speed excursion of the piston rod. The low speed adjustment allows tuning of ride quality, as well as the general cornering characteristics of typical road course and racetrack use. It is currently the ultimate choice for autocrossing, track days, drag racing, and other extreme environment use.

Features

• Monotube design allows large piston for superior ride quality, and handling
• Impact forged body allows efficient and reliable leak-free operation
• Single rebound adjustment PLUS dual stage high & low speed compression
• Remote reservoir includes mounting brackets for easy installation

Do You Need Adjustable Shocks?

Everyone knows you need to hook up your horsepower to go fast. Since the shock absorber is really what controls how the suspension works, it plays a big role. Whether you're running in a straight line or going around corners, it's all about traction: traction going forward; traction going sideways. A drag-race car needs to come up softer and go down harder. A car that turns needs to minimize body roll. The requirements are different, but a shock that offers variable valving plus a wide range of travel can work effectively in both applications. Get an adjustable shock and tune it until it delivers the performance and/or ride quality that you want - then continue experimenting whenever track or road conditions change. If you want to take your street machine to the drag strip, you can make the front end fly up a little higher to transfer more weight and launch harder. If you want to autocross it, you can dial in the extra stiffness that makes it handle better. Dollar for dollar, we can't think of anything that offers so much potential performance, or is so easy to install and adjust.
