quote:I have a question on the electronic shocks. How are the rates determined?
When I first decided to sell this product I worked with Ridetech to develop what I thought was correct for comfortable street use and stiff track use. The first iteration they sent me was way too light on the soft setting and not nearly stiff enough on the hard setting. I ended up using the first hard setting as the new soft setting, and then valved the hard setting to be WAY firmer. I am very happy with the current valving. But you are right, what I like may not be what you like.
quote:I presume there is a "street" setting and a "track" setting?
Yes, the street/soft setting is with no power applied to the shocks. The track/hard setting is achieved when power is applied.
quote:If the street setting is too soft and if the track setting is knocking the fillings out of my teeth and I'm afraid it will crack the windshield glass, am I stuck with those settings?
No, we could have them re-valved. In fact, that was exactly what I did to get them to where they are today.
quote:What are the numbers on those settings in regards to the manual set up and in regards to something I can compare them too like the original Detomaso shocks and springs?
Some of this is subjective so I don't know that I can answer that question. The best answer is to talk to folks that have them. Unfortunately, nobody has responded yet but there are forum members that have them. Some with stock Pantera's and some that race their cars. Some only post occasionally...
quote:What does the million mile warranty say? Is it a straight exchange for a new shock to the manufacturer or do I have to go through a licensed retail dealer?
At my rate I would arrive at that mileage in two or three hundred years. Presuming you are no longer around, who would handle that claim?
Inquiring minds need to know?
Since none of use will hit a million miles, you can consider it a lifetime warranty! The warranty states that you must register the purchase within 30 days of purchase to qualify. Once registered, RideTech will repair that shock free of charge. Warranty is transferable if you sell your car. If you ever reach the one million mile mark, you get a picture of you and your car in a full page ad in Hotrod Magazine! So you need to buy a set and start driving!
