Very nice. It was great watching the team thrash on the car to swap the suspension.

That is a perfect comparison video .
Basically , the car gad a 10% improvement from bolt-ons ..
That's pretty good .

We did the same thing the following weekend at GoodGuys Indy with a 1st gen Camaro. This car was already backhalved w/ CoilOvers, so we just swapped those out for a set of our CoilOvers. The front was basically stock, so we added our tall spindles, upper & lower StrongArms and CoilOvers. We also upgraded the stock big block sway bar to our MuscleBar.

So the question is, how does this compare to the Hotchkis TVS system.....??

Cost VS Gain.

CreepinDeth - We respect the Ride Tech team and obviously think our own product works great. Brett and his team build a quality product and put together a fantastic video. We don’t want to highjack this thread, it wouldn’t be the right thing to do.

how do these guys get so lucky!
i was also wondering the same thing about hotchkis till i had enough money for ridetech bags

[MCB Matt]

Since we sell both......both great companies with great products....ridetech is mostly known for ride height adjustability.....hotchkis not....can't go wrong with either. We obviously know one is cheaper than the other. All depends on wallet size and your overall use of the car. Each caters to a diff crowd.

I had a blast doing this and look forward to more of these in the future. The cars felt so stable after the swap it was like they gave you the keys to a different car.

I cannot say enough good things about the Ridetech parts and the great folks they have working for them. You have to tip your hat to Bret in his vision to do things like this and really push this sport to the next level. If you are planning to buy a new suspension give Bret a call and maybe your car can be featured in the next show. I look forward to beating on it for you.

I was the one fortunate enough to be selected for this awsome experience and I cant say enough for the guys at Ridetech and the products they sell. My car has made a complete transformation, I used be be nervouse to give it power in corners because of the body roll and it was hard to maintain control. I would have never dreamed about using it to compete in an autocross event, now i find myself looking for an excuse to find windy roads and auto cross tracks. The kit was truely a bolt on aplication with just a couple of holes to drill for that massive front sway bar. Thank you guys again for everything you did for me and I look forward to seeing you at next years event where I will try to drive it as well as Finch did! (I think I better get some practice time in because that guy can drive!)51001
