Reply to "New RideTech computer controlled shocks - "Instinct Electronic Shocks""

The shocks Richard is referring to are actually an "active" technology. That means, they know what the car is doing, and keep it "flat" all the time. As an example, if you're accelerating, the shocks will automatically increase compression stiffness in the rear and increase rebound stiffness in the front. The opposite will occur under braking, which would be a huge improvement to a Pantera, as there's no anti-dive designed into the front suspension. Same goes for cornering; a left hand turn will cause the right side shocks to increase compression stiffness and the left side shocks to increase rebound stiffness.

Some modern exotics (eg. Mclaren) that use this technology don't have anti-roll bars because they don't need them.

Scott, you'd better get a set in your Pantera ASAP, so you can tell the Forum how they feel!!!
