      Base - fixed valving no adjustment = RQ series, or ride quality
      Next is single rebound adjustable = HQ series, or handling quality
      then the triple adjustable = I forget the new name for that one.

      Opt for the Single adjustable at least, HQ.

      Geoff, Your on the right track.

      The RQ Series is for the guy who is doing nothing but street driving his car and don't want to mess with the adjustment knob. We spent alot of time testing and dynoing shocks to get the valving dialed in to what we feel is a great street shock. The ridetech RQ Series monotube is valved to optimize ride quality while offering a stable platform for confident handling performance.

      The HQ Series is a great shock for the guy who is building the car for the street and wants do do some occasional autocrossing or track days or wants more adjustablity do dial in the ride quality of the car. This shock has a single adjustment to change the rebound [extension] properties. By adjusting the rebound setting, you can optimize the ride quality even more as well as dial in more performance oriented handling characteristics. The ridetech SA shock is appropriate for musclecars, sport trucks, drag racing, casual track day use or for any hotrodder that needs or wants the next level of ride quality and handling performance from their vehicle.
