Ridetech Adjustable Sway Bars

The main benefits of Ridetech adjustable sway bars are the ability to fine-tune vehicle handling by reducing body roll, improving cornering, and adapting your vehicle's balance for different driving conditions. This is achieved through multiple adjustment settings that allow drivers to match the sway bar's stiffness to their specific needs, from street performance to track and autocross use. Built for strength and durability, the sway bars come with all the hardware needed for installation, including the mounts, low friction bushings, billet aluminum mounts and adjustable end links. Features and benefits: * CNC-formed for design and manufacturing accuracy * Three position adjustability allows fine-tuning of vehicle balance and turn-in * Attractive satin black powdercoat finish provides a durable layer of corrosion protection * Low-friction sway bar mount bushings ensure proper positioning and noise-free operation * Billet sway bar mounts and end links offer strength, durability and an attractive look * Flexibility for different uses—suitable for a wide range of applications, from occasional track days to dedicated competition vehicles * Adaptable setup—designed for compatibility with both stock and aftermarket front suspension systems (such as the Ridetech SLA suspension)

Ridetech Replacement Shock Knobs

Ridetech offers replacement shock knobs used on Ridetech coilovers and Shockwaves and HQ Series shocks. These glass filled nylon rebound knobs allow for easy adjustment of your Ridetech shocks. There are two types of damping: compression and rebound. When you decrease rebound damping by turning the adjustment knob counter-clockwise, you allow the shock to extend faster. It feels softer, more supple, and livelier. When you increase rebound damping by turning the adjustment knob clockwise, you make the shock extend slower, so it feels stiffer, more supportive, and more planted.

Ridetech TruLink Rear Suspension Systems

Tune up your chassis with Ridetech TruLink rear suspension systems and achieve significantly better handling and launch characteristics, along with dramatically improved ride quality and service life. The comprehensive system features heavy-duty tubular control arms equipped with patent-pending R-Joints plus application-tuned HQ Series adjustable shock absorbers. TruLink replaces your car's flex-prone stamped upper and lower control arms with precision-welded tubular steel Strongarms constructed from heavy-duty 1.5 in. O.D. DOM steel tube. The end result is less flex for more predictable handling and launch characteristics. Strongarm rear trailing arms are precision welded at our Jasper, Indiana factory and then powder-coated for long-lasting appearance. Ridetech installs patent-pending R-Joint rod ends and bearings for noise-free, high articulation movement with zero stiction. R-Joints eliminate the binding, stiction, noise and vibration associated with poly bushings offered in most aftermarket control arms. R-Joints never need lubrication and have exceptional wear resistance. For ultimate articulation, the TruLink system features press-in R-Joints for your axle to upper control arm attachment points. This critical feature is often overlooked in the upgrade process. The final piece in the TruLink system is a pair of Ridetech HQ Series adjustable monotube shock absorbers. They are custom-valved specifically for your vehicle's platform with modern tires. Ridetech provides rebound adjustment to help you fine tune compliance. With a few turns of the adjusting knob, you can tune rebound damping to suit both your car's needs and your personal preferences. Ridetech HQ Series shocks offer an industry-exclusive 1,000,001 mile warranty. Ridetech is confident that TruLink is the most comprehensive bolt-on rear suspension system ever offered. It's also the most versatile design on the market. As your needs and budget grow, you can add matching HQ Series front shocks, Streetgrip high performance coil springs and an adjustable MUSCLEBar™ rear sway bar. Down the line, you can upgrade to adjustable coilovers or Shockwaves with matching Tru-turn front suspension.
