5/8” hardened shaft is precision ground and straightened to a tolerance of .001”/ inch for increased durability and performance
Monotube design not only optimizes performance, but uses fewer components than a twin tube design. This is superior fl uid control in its most simple and effi cient form!
Forged aluminum coilspring adjuster allows easy adjustment and simple locking mechanism without damaging the shock body
Monotube bore is cathode anodized for years of wear resistance
Monotube design allows large piston for superior oil control – increases ride quality and handling performance
Tefl on piston wiper and progressive valving allow consistent piston/bore contact and repeatable performance
One piece IMPACT FORGED body allows effi cient manufacture and reliable leak-free operation
Long lasting Kevlar lined bearings allow wide articulation and low noise
Billet end cap with integrated debris wiper to prevent seal damage
Oversized rod guide improves piston rod stability
Large rubber external bumpstop to prevent harsh bottoming out
Integral internal bumpstop eliminates extension crashing
Hard coat external anodizing ensures years of lasting beauty and performance
Specially contoured composite gas separator cup optimizes dead length and ensures proper nitrogen/oil separation
Upper and lower spring mounts allow spring removal without complete disassembly
Easy access adjuster knob allows a wide range of 26 clicks of rebound adjustment

TECHNOLOGY
It took us 15 years to fi nd a coilover shock technology that we felt was worthy of our customers. After engaging the expertise of both FOX Racing Shocks and Hyperco springs, we felt we were able to bring the already crowded coilover market a product that was both unique and better. Impact forged monotube shocks.... high tensile American made coil... the only way to really appreciate improved ride quality and handling performance is to take a ride!
2812-482-2932
Material: Hypercoils are manufactured from high tensile chrome silicon steel…the highest grade available anywhere in the world.
Design: The high tensile wire used in Hypercoils allows lighter weight and additional travel before the coils bind.
Inspection: Hypercoils undergo 2 separate magnafl ux inspections to eliminate surface imperfections which could lead to early failure.
Manufacturing: The unique combination of state-of-the-art CNC equipment and small town craftsmen who truly care about the product they are producing make Hypercoils the fi nest coilsprings available anywhere in the world.

SPRINGS $75 Each
COIL-OVERSUniversal• The easy way to make sure you get the appropriate spring is to consult one of our sales/tech crew at 812.482.2932 They have experience with a wide variety of vehicles and can make the correct recommendation.
• For those who want the “nuts and bolts” of how to arrive at the correct spring rate, visit our website www.ridetech.com/springrate to engage our interactive spring rate calcutator. You will be asked to enter some basic data about your car... vehicle weight, coilover ride height, suspension type, etc. This interactive calculator will give you a spring rate that will be very close to optimum for your particular car.
• For those who already have an idea of the length and rate of spring they need, the charts below will allow you to make those selections. If you do not see the length and/or rate you are looking for, please call to see if we have added selections to these published charts.
How to select spring rate:
UniversalWhat’s the difference between a triangulated 4 link and a parallel 4 link?
Which is better?
ridetech.com 13
Triangulated Systems
Parallel SystemsParallel Systems
The triangulated version 4-Link is a tubular version of the tried and true rear suspension that GM has used since 1964. Welding and basic fabrication skills are needed. As a result, the triangulated 4-Link is highly adaptable to a variety of custom installations.
The triangulated 4-Link is designed for the professional builder who wants a straightforward, no-compromise rear suspension.
Ridetech also offers the 4 link rear suspension in a parallel style. Very similar in construction to the tri link... rubber bushings, heavy tubing, lasercut brackets... but the parallel 4 link uses a panhard bar to position the rear axle side to side.
In many applications, such as late model trucks, this configuration avoids interference between the upper bars and the oem gas tank. The parallel 4 link is also slightly easier for the casual installer to visualize and install because there are fewer bar mounts to deal with... the frame brackets and axle brackets carry both upper and lower bars. The parallel 4-Link is available separately, or with coil-overs.
Both styles of 4 link accomplish the same thing... very simply, they hold the rear axle in the vehicle. The function of a 4 link is to keep the rear axle in its proper place under the vehicle. The bottom 2 links keep the axle in place front to back. The upper 2 links keep the axle from rotating, keeping the pinion angle as constant as possible.
On a triangulated 4 link the uppers bars are placed at an angle to the lowers. When connected securely to the axle and the frame they form a “triangle”. This is what keeps the rear axle centered under the vehicle.
On a parallel style, a “panhard bar” must be used. It runs horizontally across the vehicle connecting the axle to the frame, allowing only up and down movement. Although there are several theories as to which is “better”, in the real world it comes down to available space and preference.
A parallel 4 link fits most trucks better because the fuel tank is usually right in front of the axle, inboard of the frame. A A parallel 4 link fits most trucks better because the fuel tank is usually right in front of the axle, inboard of the frame. A parallel is sometimes easier to install because the link bar frame mount is one piece instead of two... less time in placing and parallel is sometimes easier to install because the link bar frame mount is one piece instead of two... less time in placing and welding the upper bar mounts. But a parallel 4 link requires a panhard bar which adds slightly to the expense and can use welding the upper bar mounts. But a parallel 4 link requires a panhard bar which adds slightly to the expense and can use up valuable space needed for the exhaust system. A panhard bar will also induce a small amount of side to side movement up valuable space needed for the exhaust system. A panhard bar will also induce a small amount of side to side movement during suspension travel... not enough to feel but it may concern the customer who has an extremely tight tire to fender during suspension travel... not enough to feel but it may concern the customer who has an extremely tight tire to fender

“After 17,000 miles of trying different components in search of an acceptable ride quality, I had given up trying to make my 32 Coupe ride like anything other than, well…a 32 Coupe. After bolting on my new Ridetech coil-overs I couldn’t believe the great ride quality…now I am
looking forward to my next 17,000 miles!”
