Driving a classic American car or truck is awesome, but let’s be real – sometimes the ride quality and handling feels really old. If your vintage machine floats like a boat or crashes over bumps, Ridetech thinks it has a new solution that won’t empty your project budget.

They just rolled out the RQ-S Series of adjustable shocks. The name breaks down pretty simply: “RQ” nods to the Ride Quality Ridetech is known for, and “S” points to the sturdy 1.5-inch steel body. These are monotube shocks, packing the tech needed for better, more consistent damping control than old-school twin tubes. They use beefy half-inch shafts.

The big feature here for enthusiasts is the adjustability. You get 24 clicks of rebound adjustment on each shock. That lets you easily tweak how the car settles after hitting bumps or how it behaves in corners – firm it up for better handling or soften it for cruising comfort.

Crucially, these aren’t just generic shocks you hope will fit. Ridetech developed specific RQ-S applications for a boatload of popular classic cars and trucks.

We’re talking fitments covering years of GM muscle like Camaros, Firebirds, Chevelles, and Novas; classic trucks like the C-10, square-body C-1500s, and even early Silverados/Sierras; plus Ford Galaxies and iconic Mopar B-body and E-body cars. If you’ve got classic American iron, there’s a good chance they have an RQ-S shock for it.

Even while aiming for affordability, Ridetech didn’t skimp on the warranty. The RQ-S series gets the same massive 1,000,001-mile warranty as its higher-end stuff, giving owners confidence Ridetech built these shocks to last.

So, if your classic’s wallowing suspension frustrates you and you thought adjustable performance shocks cost too much, consider checking out the Ridetech RQ-S series of adjustable shocks.

It seems to package proven monotube tech, easy adjustability, and that long warranty into something more accessible for owners wanting to bring their classic’s ride and handling into the modern era.
