The only thing i would ask is if ride tech warranty the third party spring. No question as to ride tech staying around or the service that comes with their products. They have proven that on more car guy orientated platforms.

Well....Pfadt is now not an option any more. They just posted that they are closing down. Looks like Ridetech might have hit the market at the right time.

Sucks to see Pfadt quitting. I have their entire package, and performs well.
Looking at Ridetech, their stuff looks good. Detroit Speed & Engineering is the other option also (DSE also offers cradle bushing kit) |

Ride Tech is the best option now...DSE does makes great stuff but considerably more expensive....I have been to Ride Tech's facility in the past on a road trip last year and they have product on the shelves, as their owner Bret, believes in having stock available. Ride Tech continues to grow and they have a great warranty...my next coilovers will be from Ride Tech...

To bad about Pfadt. But big demand and not enough backing is as bad as not enough demand

We've been in business as Air Ride Technologies since 1996.
Ridetech.com has been our website since day one (you know, when websites were text with blue underlined hyperlinks). Until a few years ago we made only pneumatic suspension products for Hot Rods, old and new Muscle Cars, military, and "OE" applications (We don't have any large OE accounts, but a number of vehicles that are built on an assembly line). Air Ride is still the name as far as uncle Sam is concerned. But since we have branched out into the traditional coil over market we felt a name change was required. . .hence Ridetech. Bret and his wife are the owners, and has been seen all over the country an on TV with our 33 Ford as of late.

You know, Ride Tech's coilover's weren't available when I bought my Supercars, otherwise I would have had them...and I as I posted before, I just bought a Level 3 Coilover set up for my 1956 Chevy that is being built to autox at Good Guys events, so I believe in their product and the people behind it.

Someone else used we know used to do that too. Just saying.(Too soon?)
When I spoke with Kyle the other day he did mention they have stock on the shelves. The Viking Berserker ASM (Active Shock Management) also sounds interesting but that is still in it's infancy. T.

The drag strip is like sniffing glue, it's cheap, it's a decent buzz, it doesn't last long and they are all the same. Road racing is like China White Heroin, the buzz is stronger, the high lasts for hours, it's extremely addictive and they are all different. I can't wait for my next Track fix.

Kinda like a magnetic ride control in the ZL1. Google it, there is a SEMA video out there.

Bilstein is an option for our cars but I haven't heard a single review on them.
