 This is one of the coolest new products I saw at SEMA this year!


 These shocks can switch between valvings with the push of a button.

Ride Tech New Product

They had a demo frame hooked up with their air springs and these shocks. At the tail end you can jump on the frame simulating bumps down the road and the car reacts by bouncing with your momentum. When you press the button on the control panel, the shocks seem to 'lock up' and keep the car from reacting to your jumping. The display was made to exagerate the effects, but imagine having a setting for the trip to the track, then another for on the track. This would help make the car more comfortable for long trips without sacraficing control and performance in racing conditions.

I can't wait to see this on the streets!
